my first post.

Firstly, I should explain the reasons behind the blog title 'Deli Girl' and to do this I must expertly (after hours of trying to find out how to take a screen shot of it) COPY AND PASTE the email from my Dad that has motivated the whole thing:

Hi Alannah

Ma read me your article which I thought was - well written, funny and personal. I really think you should start a blog - Deli Girl. You could even get advertising around it - starting with the deli.

Couple of minor observations (sorry for being a pedant) but tomatoes are a fruit not a vegetable and mushrooms are a fungus.

I've just tidied up a bit of the spelling and grammar (you seem to have inherited your mother's misunderstanding of the apostrophe) but have left it alone otherwise.
 
One thing you didn't mention was your homing instinct for free samples at supermarkets.

Well done.
Papa
