Charlie says, “Happy Halloween!” Charlie made it to Halloween! His teeth are shrinking a little, but otherwise he’s fine. The coolest part is when the smoke wafts out of his eyes after you blow out the candle. Spooky! This week I bought a couple of items from the online store: honey and butterhead lettuce. The [...]

We’ve had some great salads this week with chopped tomatoes, radishes, and mushrooms. We added tuna one time and another time we cut up some lunch meat to make a chef salad. We had the potatoes baked and the broccoli steamed one day for lunch along with a box of fried chicken. (Sometimes, you just [...]

The butterhead lettuce was delicious. My 18-year-old stepson wanted to make sure I posted that it’s the best lettuce ever. That’s a pretty nice endorsement, huh? We also had arugula and a mystery green that was pretty tasty in salads. We ran out of butterhead first, so our salads became stronger as the week went [...]
