Here we are going to get our CSA veggies last week. This week, just Mandy and I went with Alex while Chris stayed at Nonna's. Halfway through the pick-your-own-peas, Alex got hungry. Mandy sat down in the shade of the sugar snap peas to nurse him while I went to cut flowers.

While they were nursing, a woman paused during her picking to stare at them. She caught herself and apologized. Apparently, she did the very same thing with her child a couple years previously. It seems there are not too many good shady spots on the farm.

more pak choi, please

Last night I made a stir fry of tofu, pak choi, and other farm fresh veggies. Chris was so hungry by the time it was ready that he slammed Mandy's laptop closed in the middle of his favorite (at the moment) youtube cartoon when I set the table.

Once he was seated and strapped in, he took one bite of tofu, picked up his bowl and dumped all of it into Mandy's bowl. He then dragged the combined portion over to his place, grabbed Mandy's fork, and dug in. I guess he liked it.
