Getting to the Root of It All

I breathed a sigh of relief today -- Maggie liked my newsletter article. It's sort of funny how stressed I was feeling about it -- it's not like I'm getting graded... or paid!

I started the morning with a medium Peet's and a cheese danish, then spent several hours researching and writing about root vegetables. It's good work. The project got expanded beyond a handout to market visitors: I'm also assigned to write another newsletter article that will coincide with the Root Festival. Maggie threw in some suggestions about describing the botanical differences between the different kinds of roots -- that'll definitely require more research on my part! (To paraphrase Prissy, "I don't know nothin' 'bout growin' vegetables!")

I've also got another couple of projects, both recipe-related: comparing CUESA's archived recipes with the ones available on the website, to see that they all get posted, and developing recipes to include in the weekly newsletter, to be based on items available in the market. Shopping and cooking: right up my alley.
