I have always found this a perplexing task - picking out produce that will be the freshest, the sweetest, the best. I was grateful that a handful of stores I frequent started posting little signs of what to look for near the fruit and veggie bins.

Tonight my son ate a sweet potato. And a few pieces of pasta. And a sauteed mushroom. And some watermelon. And a few kidney and Garbanzo beans. Oh and a few bites of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

I love Saturday mornings. For lack of having anything better to do, I love waking up early and heading out around town looking for garage sales. I've got my usual route that I folllow, though I will admit that sometimes I'm forced to deviate if I find something particularly spectacular looking.

Eggplant Fritters Posted on May 11, 2008 under Appetizers, Breakfast, Vegetables | No Comment Eggplant fritters are a delicous side dish for fish, oysters, and just about any seafood.  They are also excellent appetizers.

Today for lunch we had some fresh spinach from the garden. Not a lot, but enough to stir into the pasta sauce and ladle over our green organic spinach pasta. For dinner we harvested lettuce — 4 varieties — and 4 of our radishes transplanted weeks ago from our neighbor.
