Family Gets Royal Treatment At Munson's

Since I'm laid low with bronchitis this weekend, my husband headed out to Munson's yesterday to get the veggies I needed for last night's ratatouille and tonight's corn chowder (cooking while hoisting a vitamin C-packed Bloody Mary can be a great restorative for those under the weather). The excellent news is that Munson's corn escaped damage from the two very cold nights we just had. But instead of just picking up an eggplant from the stack, Bob Munson invited my husband to go out with him into the field to pick his own! He came back with two of the most beautiful eggplants I've ever seen, and it doesn't get fresher than that.
