Eat Local

For the first time ever, I have decided to grow tomatoes this summer...little juicy cherry tomatoes. My tomato plant is just starting to go crazy, and here is a salad with the tomatoes, lettuce from our neighbors' garden, and fresh carrots grown in Emmett that I picked up from the Farmer's Market. I think this eating local thing is kind of fun. Mike's not so convinced: he found a little green worm crawling on his lettuce at dinner tonight...even though I had washed and rewashed the lettuce in hot water and put it through the salad spinner. That little green worm was a hardy little bugger! Mike put the worm and the piece of lettuce on the table, and Hank promptly gobbled up the worm. Hank didn't seem to mind a little protein with his vegetables.
