Not to put too fine a point on it
(while eating dinner)
RJ: I don’t like the vegetables, but I will eat ALL my rice.
LR: Rice is a vegetable, RJ!
RJ: No it’s not. It’s a grain. It’s a seed!

Something from the Garden
The garden has been doing fantastically. Lots of veggies and fresh greens have been rocketing up out of the ground. Mum and the kids spend a bit of time out there each week to hunt caterpillars, snails and the other evil creatures that want to share our meals with us.
Mum has been finding really interesting plants to grow in there too. Last year’s big hit was the purple carrots — apparently quite popular amongst preschoolers. This year, we have beetroot (aka. beets), but something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.
They're beets, Jim, but not as we know it.
Great colours, but will the kids eat them?
