Have you been keeping up with Michelle Obama's excellent-ness? She seems geniunely interested in one of my favorite subjects, food. She opened up her kitchen in February to six students at the L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, Md. She has served meals and delivered fresh fruit donated by White House staff to a D.C. soup kitchen, and most recently has decided to hook up a Victory Garden on the South Lawn of the White House, groundbreaking scheduled for today.
I wonder if I should attempt to plant something in addition to basil and oregano this year in my backyard. Seems like the grocery store is outrageously expensive these days. Even more than when it was outrageously expensive the last time I wrote about how expensive it was. Victory Garden, eh? Must investigate...
