This past Saturday morning, we went and strolled around the farmers’ market. We came across some great finds. I bought some incredibly beautiful Batavian lettuce – which I proceeded to savor each evening for 4 nights straight. Sadly, it is now gone.

As kids, they could actually reach up, pick an avocado off the tree and eat it like an apple any time they wanted. To this day, I think this is one of the coolest things. [...]
