Wow! Our garden had enough produce for a fab Celebration Salad at our bi-weekly book (Simply in Season) session. Primo! Cool, quenching cucumbers (2 sizes); baby carrots (taste had a hint of flower essence!); sweet baby beet and rich beet greens; the pizazz of fresh sage; broccoli the color of a blue spruce; rich tomatoes; petite Swiss chard; tangy banana peppers; plump sugar peas; moist wax beans; aromatic cilantro and snappy chives. Instead of lettuce, our primary greens were fresh, living carrot tops. Non-garden adders: avocado, cashews, vinegar, spices, olive oil, as well as radishes from a local farm since we just planted our second crop. Visiting as we all pitched in with the preparation was great. We noted that a feast is not just a large quantity of food, but sharing with others! We continued munching as we discussed money related to the purchase of food and justice to farmers, including how farmers bring their wares to market in other countries. After discussing various types of costs, we talked about various types of wealth and how those are related to our food choices: strong relationships, clear conscience, wealth of time to prepare good food and share it with others.
