What do you except from a bunch of city slickers? <br /><br />Speaking of which, both my daughters were born in Princeton in a birthing house called Familyborn. My 26-year-old was one of their first births and my 13-year-old was one of their last births and then I heard they had to close down and start working out of the hospital because of insurance reasons. It made me sad. I had such a wonderful experience with those midwives.<br /><br />www.GreenerPastures--ACityGirlGoesCountry.blogspot.comGreener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739655481104184892.post-32283524911411997592009-06-18T16:19:39.371-05:002009-06-18T16:19:39.371-05:00Hey Jeff!

I used to not like collard greens, until my neighbor fixed them with a lot of garlic and bits of potatoes. Yum!!<br /><br />It's good to know that the small farm movement is spreading quite nicely - in Princeton, of all places!<br /><br />What "old friends" do you wish to see at the Met? I visited a long time ago and loved the Impressionist works that they have there. The Greek and Roman stuff didn't do much for me. But the Met is HUGE! I got museum-itis pretty quickly.<br /><br />I'm planning to be at the farmer's market on the 27th - are you bringing some of the cherry jam??Jeffhttp://turningpoints.iomaire.comnoreply@blogger.com
