A Digression on the Subject of Office Stationery

I find I have become very dependent on post-it tape-flags. I understand they are terrible for paper and I do try to remember to take them out once I have done with them, but wow, these little guys are sooooo cool. I have planted packets in every room. You never know when you might need one.
The flags come in red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. My old floppy disks came in the same five colors; so did my file folders. Those colors are all nice enough, but when I was in school, we had six colors, three primaries and three secondaries. What happened to purple? Has purple been downsized? Outsourced? Is it because of the recession or the war?
Some purple cauliflower at Union Square this week. I have not tried this variety of cauliflower yet. No more the green ones or the (camera-shy) orange. Do they stay purple after cooking?
Purple peppers fade to green when you cook them. Maybe that's the post-it problem. Purple vegetables (at least according to people who sell the seeds) are high in anthocyanins, which are among the most powerful antioxidants. Read about other colorful choices at sweetnicks.
