Martha never ceases to amaze me.  She is a vegetarian and while I believe she thinks I tell too many people, it is because I am in awe that someone can only eat vegetables and have as much energy.  Now, when you compare dress sizes (she is about a 4 and I am a solid 14) it should put things in perspective pretty quick.  Vegetarianism now seems to be spreading …our office manager, Ella, and her boyfriend both became veggies last year.  In an effort to keep up with all of these “greenies” I have joined an organic farm coop…and Martha copied me ~ I was thrilled to lead the way when it came to nutrition, even if it was just this one time.  (But as a side bar, I found out last week that she had never tasted spaghetti squash – in my small mind I thought every vegetarian had a vast knowledge for all things vegetable.  Mark another victory to this omnivore).

Nelle & Lizzy shares office space with another company, Putnam House (www.putnamhouse.com or www.putnamprints.com) which I have owned for the past 11 years.  (And for another lengthy side note, Martha was a realtor before we founded Nelle & Lizzy so she has another “side” job too).  I regress….for our office birthday celebrations we always do a potluck lunch.  They are becoming more of a vegetarian feast!  I always bring the plates and napkins.  But you probably could have guessed that.  So if you have any great ideas for potluck, vegetarian friendly, easy-to-make lunch recipes, send them my way!

Just so you know I am not a total loss to the green wave crossing our country, I bought an old wash tub at an antique fair last weekend and planted my own herb garden to try and spice up my family meals.  I am
enclosing a picture here.  It is two days since planting and everything is still alive….stay tuned.
