I was tempted to post about the price of carrots [update: I did just that] but thought better about it and decided to display this artsy beauty shot instead. Who really cares out there in the world that locally grown carrots are up to 900 kr/kg ($7/kg., or ~$3.50/lb.) though organic? Not you. It may not even seem like that much when you do the currency conversion. It's more a local issue. Like the cost of milk almost doubling over the course of the summer. It's a relative thing. And we are on a remote island. And it's expensive in Hawaii as well, I've heard. And H1N1 didn't really even get a toehold here. AND we've had the Most Excellent weather EVER here this summer. So what's to worry about?
Everything's fine.

The WCMA, The World Carrot Muralist Association, will not take this lying down. This could be the beginning of a new cod war.
Pigs may not fly but carrots definitely will when this news leaks out to the world press.
My husband and I are coming to Iceland this weekend for 10 days. It is our first trip to Iceland and we are really excited about it. We are trying to find out as much about Iceland as we can, including grocery prices. Despite people say things are cheaper now for tourists due to the exchange rate, I still find Icelandic prices exceptional high!

Love your irony (and pics).
But than I realizes it´s too early to jump into conclusions, but I hope you are right.
Really, all we can do is laugh a little more, hug our beloveds, hold nice dinner party, and breathe, just breathe... *:*
I love your work! And you're right, the price of locally produced carrots is ridiculous!
