My friend J.P. is probably unemployed since the fruit and veg shop I used to frequent mysteriously closed its doors a couple of weeks ago.

This is how tough it is living in Brisbane, the Tampa of Australia:

The red peppers were selling for $0.01 each Sat. morning at another fruit and veg shop.

I bought 20.

That’s $0.20 of red peppers roasting on the grill.

Also got some Knobby snapper for dinner with our friends, as well as some shrimp and tuna.

It doesn’t suck to live in Brisbane.
