So, the kind people at Washington Post Express decided to give a humble keyboard minion a chance and printed my remark about aging produce in today’s edition. Just think - this morning thousands of DC-area commuters nodded off and gracelessly endured metro delays while clutching this collage of advertising and desperate, last-minute blog gleanings.

No wait, I didn’t mean that to sound snarky and ungrateful. Really, I’m totally tickled.

But back to what’s really important - strawberry longevity.

So what we’ve got here are the same three batches of berries from the other day. The special green and regular clear bags have swapped sides since the very first photo, but we’ll have to just accept that and move on.

Not much change is noticeable from this photo. The open-air batch is slightly the worse for wear, though still edible. Both sets of bagged berries appear to be doing comparably well at this, the 48-hour mark.

The picture, however, is totally freaking crisp and delightful and was a pleasure to work with in photoshop (for the scientists among us, Matt, I habitually adjust light levels and crispness - no airbrushing).

But why does that photo so totally rock, you ask? Because I bought a new camera and it is totally riddled with awesomeness. I may post about it when I get to know it a little better. We’re still getting acquainted.
