Nothing too much to say here ... just showing off the reaping of my reward. Lunch was lentil soup with organic red leaf + romaine lettuce and organic cherry tomato from the garden. The onion and avocado were from the farmers market and the sesame seeds, Gloucester cheddar cheese, and tuscan vinaigrette dressing were from the every wonderful trader joes. If I could grow it all and avoid going to the market I totally would.
* footnote on trader joes ... I have boycotted purchasing produce from them because of their heavy duty use of packaging materials on simple items like onions and bell peppers. But I was in today and apples, onions, and bell peppers are finally offered in bulk and plastic / styrofoam free (!). Letter to the manager, you no longer have to be written (stay in the drawer until I bring up monsanto).

Looks delicious! I agree with the TJ's packaging. Chris and I were thinking the same thing, but noticed that they are now selling most of their fruits and veggies w/o packaging. The only thing is that they're still getting some of their produce from other countries instead of locally. Anyway, just wondering... are you guys growing anything indoors? Our new apartment doesn't have room for us to grow anything outdoors (even in pots), so I'm trying to figure out what to grow indoors. =)
