I’m home now, but this morning Jbouley mentioned my posts about the little place we went out to lunch. I need to correct that impression! I neglected to take any pictures of the whole thing. Here is the entry.
The great big stalk was hiding under a pile of straw. Most people prefer the little skinny ones, but contrary to popular belief, the fat ones are the tenderest.
Just Food is the local warehouse where you can take food for distribution to people who need it. They now have refrigerated storage so they can take vegetables. Got extra produce? Take it to Just Food (11th & Haskell in Lawrence, KS). If you don't live in Lawrence, find the place in your town that will give it away. One more thing: Just Food loves to get those food donations, but donations of money are even better. They are able to purchase food in bulk very inexpensively. $1 donated is equal to one meal. So give food AND money!
