Vegetable Newbie Pillows

Please be gentle, waiter. This is my first salad. I'm sorry, sir, but there's a reason they call it "roughage."

Prize vegetables.

'Oh man I've got a splitting headache.'

"It's how he would have wanted to go."

But is it organic?

'We use to tiptoe through the tulips. . . now we just waddle through the weeds.'

'The dietician told him to increase his roughage!'

Don't mind us. We're just trying to eat more locally grown food.

'Congratulations on your 100% plant-based diet. I'm referring you to a botanist.'

Advocado

"We're odd looking but just as good."

The discovery of asparagus.

'All those vegetables Mom's been feeding me finally paid off. I'm a squash.'

"I'm rooting for the carrots."

Our farmer brought fresh beans, tomatoes, corn and squash this week. Nice. You should have bought into the farm share. I've got my own farmer. Mine's cheap. Mine's cheaper. Thanks, mom. You can't take more zucchini?

'Looks like Reginald wasn't kidding when he said he's going to start urban farming on the roof...'

"Just a couple of ninety cent seed packets, and you can have fresh garden vegetables for heaven knows how long."

"I use broccoli rabe as a litmus test."

'What are you eating now?'

Better Not Squash.

Excellent crop! What's your secret?

'I'm thankful you didn't make turnips.'

'You're still keen on organic gardening then!'

'Is your cabbage diet working darling?'

'Thank you waiter - my wife's the rabbit.'

Pea

"Mummy said dinner was brussels sprouts tonight. What about we drop by the park and see if the old man sitting on the bench can feed us instead?"

Vegetarian Birthdays.

'You certainly went to town growing all that lettuce so I've dressed for dinner.'

'Because Thanksgiving is about a bountiful harvest. That's why we have to eat all these vegetables.'

Mom? Eco club is starting a campaign to eat local food. Good idea. Would you please pack me a lunch from organic stuff grown near here? Ok. I'm sure we have something. Thanks! Oh, boy. A beet sandwich.

Cooking with Pierre

Typical...the weather is lousy all week...then on the weekend it's too sunny to work.

'Needs more kale.'
