Congrats on your first teaser! This one was fun - not too easy, not too hard. KUTGW!
Fun teaser but might have been worded a bit differently. I was under the impression that I had to rearrange the letters in the sentences to come up with 2 words rather than TRANSLATE the sentences into 2 words. When there weren't 2 of each letter in the sentences, I had to slowly scroll down to see the first answer before being able to correctly work on the rest.
Tougher than I thought it would be too! Fun though... once I understood it anyway.

Great teaser - got the first four but was stumped by the last!
Great teaser.
Didn't get the last one, "produce" would include fruit as well. I guessed mushroom a mushroom.
