The Beginners were making Stone Soup today. We got exactly one day of notice that we had to have our child bring in a vegetable today. Grace had her heart set on a green pepper. This morning I scavenged in the fridge and found only this wrinkled, pathetic specimen. She would not take no for an answer, though, so I tried to ameliorate the sadness of the offering by also making her take this yellow pepper. Don’t know how the combination was received. I did see at least two of my fellow mothers this morning, though, rushing off to find a vegetable somewhere.
