Plenty of produce
Dear Robin,
Recently I’ve been overburdened with an excessive harvest of rutabagas. We only grew one row, but now I’m stuck with like 300 rutabagas and I’m not one to waste food. What the hell can I do with 300 rutabagas?
Please stop laughing. My husband is going to leave me if I can’t find a way to remove 300 rutabagas ASAP from my laundry room.
Sincerely,
Reluctant to Rutabagas
Hey hey,
First of all, good on you for planting your own produce! That’s a great way to save money AND save the world. But see, you have the solution right in front of you: you say your husband will leave you if you can’t get them out of ***your laundry room. Let’s hold on a moment — you claim it’s your laundry room, so why should he dictate what’s in it? Oh, marriage is a compromise you say? Well, then maybe your husband should be helping you with this.

Packin’ produce
Dear Robin,
What are some healthy snacks to pack for a day on campus? I’m sick of always failing to pack a lunch then spending $10 at Triple O’s.
Sincerely,
Snacking in the SUB
Hello,
Let’s get to the point. Triple O’s is just a large corporation sucking money out of the world and paying their employees tiny amounts to work in customer service (which usually sucks) and stand over smoking hot grills. They shall get no money of ours. Instead, start packing proteins for school, like nuts and cheese. Those are easy things to just put in a little container and munch on throughout class without being noisy. Next bring lots of fruit and veggies. Bananas are hard to bring in a bag because they just get all mushy. Instead bring some delicious and in-season apples along with veggies and hummus. Again, all of that is easy to pack in containers so you don’t use single-use plastics. Lastly, please don’t bring fish to campus, because you don’t want to be the person to smell up the entire Canoe.
-Robin
