My BFF and my husband ate lunch at El Jardin at the Botanical Gardens for my birthday. They had great “bowls” with fresh raw vegetables, nuts, squash, and dressing.

“I made great works; I built houses and planted vineyards for myself; I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees. I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees.” Ecclesiastes 2:4-6. Revised Standard Version
