Our usual Saturday haunt.  I am really trying to feed our family as much local, organic food as possible and I also keep vainly hoping that if Zach helps me pick out a vegetable he may actually eat one someday.  Anyway, we are wandering around after making our purchases and Zachary walks up to a stand of lettuce that is toddler height and TAKES A BITE OF THE DISPLAY LETTUCE!  I cannot even begin to describe both my horror and supreme satisfaction.  Luckily the vender was super nice, laughed and tore off the pieces that he had bitten and gave them to Zach and THEN HE ATE MORE.  I was flabbergasted.  Joe and I eat salad almost every night and this was the first time he has ever shown any interest.  At home today, we wandered down to the garden and sampled some of our own lettuce, which he did try (!) but didn’t like.    

So, if you bought some green leaf lettuce from Lazy J, Saturday sometime after 11:30, please make sure you wash it carefully.
