Today in Brooks Dining Room we are featuring produce from the garden. Check the sandwich station for tender Genovese basil featured in paninis with tomatoes and mozzarella.
Fresh chives from the greenhouse can be found mixed in with sour cream to top your baked potatoes.
And don't forget the salad bar, once again home to our zesty lettuce mix. Here are some photos of this morning's lettuce harvest.
Hooray! I provided the kitchen with two dish tubs full of fresh, tasty lettuce. Did you know that most produce loses much of its nutritional content within 24 hours of being picked? Don't ask me where i learned that, but here's the lesson: eat fresh and you'll be getting much more nutrients out of your food. And it just plain tastes better, too.Cheers to that!

p.s. Don't forget to head into Portland tomorrow morning for the weekly Farmer's Market in Monument Square. It's prime harvest season!
