Ian,
You have my sympathies for your struggles. And my respect for how you seem
to be dealing with them. My husband was a hemophiliac. Just living with that
as an adult was hard. To live with a genetic disorder in a child must be
infinitely harder. I have an enormous respect for my mother-in-law who
raised such a child and did not wrap him in cotton-wool, "in case he got
hurt".
You are in CA, where you can get a much better assortment of
non-store-bought produce than I can here in NYC, although I tend to frequent
the greenmarkets and try to buy what is in season when I buy in stores. Even
then, store-bought doesn't taste as good as fresh-picked. I have converted
one person at work to never eating store-bought strawberries again, he tried
some from the greenmarket when they were in season and was convinced.
