So has Locatelli Romano, one of the great Italian grating cheeses. Produce Junction still has first-rate Nittany and Golden Delicious apples grown in West Virginia. Cruel time Midwinter is the cruelest time of year for salad lovers.

The long slicers tend to be tasteless at this time of year, but still marginally preferable to the pickling cukes, which are often rotting from the outside by the time they reach the stores. We find some good ones, but not often. I feel more like a West Virginian now that I dined on chili beans and corn bread Sunday evening. Chili without the beans is a distortion of the message. Speaking of beans, we replaced our old pressure cooker, which was developing terminal problems around the handles, with one of the new generation of pressure cookers.
