An early morning date

Dylan with her Living Lettuce

Here is Dylan last year at the Farmer's Market. Tomorrow is the opening day of Chicago's Green City Market (Hallelujah!!), and we are going to be there exactly at 7am. Kindergarten starts at 8am, so it's going to be a big 'ol rush, but even if she's late, this is so worth it!

We are both super excited. I'll report in tomorrow with the details of our booty and a review of our breakfast crepes.

(P.S. I can't believe she was able to wear such a skimpy tank top last year at this time. It's pouring rain right now, and tomorrow morning is going to be CHILLY.)

I am so jealous that you have a Market opening up already. I haven't even been able to get things planted, way too cold! Plus, we've had no rain, and it's dry as the desert, but that's another story. Have fun shopping for delicious food!

Darn! I knew it was opening soon but didn't make it this morning. I've been reading the book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," and it has me ready to (extreme version) move to Ohio and buy a farm or (less extreme version) buy all of my food locally from farmers markets from now on...and make my own cheese. I'll definitely be there bright and early for the next one! Can't wait to hear about your loot!

I love the picture of your daughter with the giant head of lettuce. I found your blog through Jennifer's at www.tripesoup.wordpress.com, and yesterday she had a picture of her daughter with an enormous artichoke. Maybe it's because I'm a mom, too, but I think tiny kids with gargantuan vegetables make especially great photographs!
