Fun with Julia


Thats my beautiful neice Julia with me in the garden. Julia could be the poster child for eating a healthy, organic diet.  She radiates health and vitality. She is also a foodie who gets almost as excited as I do when she is in the garden. She likes to cook, she reads Michael Pollan. She watches documentaries about U.S. agriculture. When she lands her dream job in the food industry, I am hoping that she'll hire me.  Anyhow, we were out in the garden picking veggies for our breakfast. We picked zucchini, scallions, and Swiss chard that we sauteed and added to the local eggs that I buy from my neighbor Roxann who raises egg laying hens in her back yard. We added fresh basil and some cheese and enjoyed a delicious frittata.
