Bestucce

No, this is so not what our garden looks like although i sure wish it was! It's the lettuce & greens bed from the Rice house in Northern VA. We had the opportunity to eat some of their homegrown romaine, red and butterhead lettuce recently - and i realized how flavorful, crisp and fresh lettuce truly could be. I mean, come on, lettuce is lettuce right? Well hell no kids! After eating some fresh picked greens grown with care i can never justify paying $6.99/lb for organic baby greens that suspiciously all taste the same, or $1.99/ea for waterlogged, flavorless fluffy lettuce filler. The Rice lettuce was leafy, hearty yet tender and very flavorful. It even stood up to multiple washings to get the little bugs off. It undoubtedly is the best lettuce i've ever had!

Now be is really upset that we didn't dedicate an entire box to lettuce!

Bexn is right, we kid you not, that was the best lettuce we've ever had. Thanks to the Rices!

I've been happily talk to Bexn's plants and tasting her herbs; I am going to infuse some of her chocolate mint tonight :)

Cheers,
