Growing up and eating vegetables

John only nursed once today... One time. That's it. Wow. If someone had told me how fast he would go from not eating to eating everything back in February, I wouldn't have believed it.

John's sleeping now. We ran around the fields for two hours this afternoon while Dan played softball with his department. He ate a lot of rice and bok choy leaves from the stir fry I made tonight and then fell asleep quite easily. I guess that's what happens when you run around in the fresh air for two hours chasing crickets and funny colored spots of grass.

We're into the second week of CSA vegetables. We had a really, really, really dry spring, causing later plantings than normal all through the state, otherwise we'd probably be in the fourth week! We have a beautiful vase of flowers on the kitchen tables (the CSA has a cutting garden) as well and one quart out of five quarts of organic strawberries to go. I gave away two heads of lettuce because we got lettuced out last week. Four heads between two people in one week?

On Saturday, I make spanikopita (uses one pound of spinach), tonight, stir fry with bok choy. There's still a lot of broccoli, kale, collards, and sage (what on earth does one do with sage?), in addition to the lettuce I kept. I never thought I could eat this many greens, but one goal in joining a CSA was to increase our vegetable intake.

John loved the bok choy. I think he is a green vegetable baby. Don't ask me where he gets it from!
