"Wow, even the pumpkins are white."

19. She spoils everything. (and not just her) I enjoy making pies from lumina pumpkins.

Now that she has posted that photo, the price will go up.

I guess the Lumina will now go the way of Kale and Swamp cabbage. Overpriced for no reason other than to appeal to those who don't know better.

Kale used to be super cheap until someone got the idea to market it as the next big thing. Even though kale has been around forever - both used as garnish and to eat. Poor and not so poor people ate it. Now, it's gotten more expensive.

Swamp cabbage is what some call hearts of palm. Guess it sounds better and you can charge more for it on the menu with that name. But it's swamp cabbage, from the Sabal palm - once a stable of poor people. People still gather their own and it's still called swamp cabbage - unless on a menu in an upscale restaurant. I'd wager you could place both swamp cabbage and hearts of palm on the same menu and people would choose the higher-priced hearts of palm, never knowing both are the same thing.

I've been to high-end eateries where they bragged about their poke sallat and dandelion infusions and couldn't stop laughing. Charging an arm and a leg for greens poor people have been eating for centuries because that's all they had.

I do wish people would stop "discovering" the already long discovered and enjoyed by those who don't have a lot of wealth. You're pricing us out of everything.

And the raving about your "discovery" is ever so annoying.

OK. I'm over it now. Back to giving dirt a brand name and calling it the next new thing in bowel cleansing for a healthier chakra.
