Hey - LJ ate my comment! As I had said, my niece absolutlely loves Calabrese broccoli, which surprises everyone. When she was five I asked her if she could only eat one type of food the rest of her life, what would it be? She said, "Broccoli, and broccoli-cheese soup." I won't argue the math there, but she's clearly devoted. I wonder if kai-lan could sway her. She does seem to enjoy "eating trees" as she puts it.

I'd try this veggie, but I have always been more adventurous in that regard. For some reason, though, now I really want some asparagus - and pickled beets! Who up there said beets?!

Evon makes the most delicious (and prize-winning) pickled asparagus. However, since the title of this entry isn't "the most beautiful vegetable pickled by my wife," asparagus itself didn't quite make the cut.

I've never really figured out whether I like beets.

Pickled asparagus? Really? I've never had this. I'm curious. Reaaaally curious all of the sudden. I'd pay money for it! You don't have any extra sitting around, do you?

*mumbles to self* Pickled asparagus....huh!

I wouldn't call the pickled asparagus I have sitting around "extra." Just "temporarily unconsumed."

I think the thing on the balloon is a rhino (seen here eating his veggies), certainly a contender for most beautiful baby animal. Right after, um, you know.

Yup, that there seems to be a rhinolet.
