Veggies...YUMMY!

Vince and I are always looking for ways to improve the ways we live on this earth. We recycle, even when it's not always convenient. We only have compact fluorescent light bulbs in our house. I've been going to the library instead of buying books...and y'all know that's a stretch for me! We're not perfect by any stretch, but we are trying to do our part.



So we decided to join a CSA (community supported agriculture) called Growing Home Inc (http://www.growinghomeinc.org/). They are a fantastic organization that provides job training and employment opportunities for homeless and low-income people within the context of an organic agriculture business. We split a box of organic veggies every week with our friends Wes and Charlotte. And this week we got our first box of delicious veggies. This week we got asparagus, kale, cilantro, arugula, beets, and spinach.

Here's Charlotte with beautiful, HUGE asparagus.
April being silly with beets.
What will Vince choose: kale or gelato?
It's Vince...gelato, of course!
