Hi, I enjoyed your blog very much and it has given me a lot of ideas on preparing my own work lunches. Thanks for that.
To drive away mosquitoes, may be you can try this – dilute some mint mouth wash in a bottle with a spray head and spray them around where you want to hang out in your garden, the mosquitoes dislikes the smell of mint in the mixture and will stay away from that area for about an hour or so. I used Colgate Plax and it works for me, may be you can try too

jetgirl,
They were really nice – sometimes they are too tart and I can’t eat them without scrunching up my face. These were sweet and juicy and really good.

Kali,
Yep. I need to find friends that mosquitoes like just as much, if not more, than me. :)

Cindy,
They even bite me through my jeans – I must be like mosquito crack or something. Not a claim to fame I really wanted! :-P

Wow! So colorful and appetizing, all of it. :-) Like usual. ;-) Potato bake – Mmmm.

Yep, I’m a mosquito target too. There are few in this desert clime, except during the rainy season. Back home in Iowa (a very humid place) they were atrocious. I’m an amateur astronomer and even a generous spray-down of repellent DIDN’T repel them; got bitten plenty of times regardless while looking through my telescope’s eyepiece. :-(

I’m a Southern US girl so I know about mosquitoes, sadly. Everyone else I’m friends with are never bothered with them but they always focus on me! I understand your aggravation. :)
