Filed under: How To All summer long, I've been buying up bags of tomatoes, quarts of peaches and at least two melons a week. I can't get enough of the sweet flavors and amazing freshness of the produce from my local farms and markets. I have, however, had more than enough of the Fruit Flies that often tag along with my edible hauls. For the last two months, my kitchen has offered shelter to these diminutive insects and their flitting around is starting to make me feel truly crazy.

Hopefully the Fruit Flies will soon be no more! [via The Kitchn ] Read  |  Permalink  |  Email this  |  Comments ...
