There was a time when my fashion advice was heeded. Now, the shirtsI recommend stay in the drawer. The outings I originate are metwith "do I have to go?"

Keeping that in mind, I put control of this week's outing in mykids' hands (kind of).

My goal was to have my kids get excited about buying and eatinglocal produce. Their goal — once they'd "thought" of it— was to prepare a dish that used at least three locallygrown vegetables.It wasn't a market day where farmers bring their goods to town, sowe headed out to the farms. It wasn't long before our inspirationcame in the form of a sign: "U-pick garden." We followed the trailof signs to a parking lot with a tractor and a couple of sheds.

Not seeing anyone, I called the number on the sign and found outhow to help ourselves. A map on the shed directed us to rows androws of vegetables. It was the perfect spot for a family with nogarden at home.With everything from cauliflower to corn, the garden seemed to belacking nothing. It even had authentic garden mud thanks to Augustrain. We promised ourselves another trip to the fields when we hadbetter footgear.
