After a two-week break from CSA and a Euro-Vegas vacation, I am back…and ready to welcome veggies back into my diet. Apparently Belgians do not like vegetables so much. I guess it could be hard to pick veggies over delicious beer, chocolate, and waffles! Vacation was lots of fun and it was great to celebrate some fabulous occasions, even if it did lead to a very strange itinerary and a *lot* of time on planes. Congrats to the newlyweds, Laurens and Matthias, and happy birthday to Paetra!

| Week 10 |
It looks like I came back right in the thick of tomato season…five pounds this week! I can’t believe I bought some tomatoes at the store last weekend. Tomato sandwiches have definitely been happening. And I’m hoping to attempt a tomato tart with phyllo dough. Wish me luck!
Whenever I get a watermelon, I always cross my fingers that it’s yellow. And this week I was in luck! And that made me wonder if there is a way to tell…which led me to Google. While I did not find anything telling me a way to differentiate a yellow from a pink watermelon from the outside, I did learn that yellow watermelon is known as “Yellow Crimson” and the more popular pink watermelon is called “Crimson Sweet.” Remind me again, what did we do without Google? And speaking of Google, did you hear about their restructuring as Alphabet?
