Kidding Around at Jeremiah Farm |
Written by Kristin Hackler
An asparagus growing looks just like an asparagus on your plate. Maybe that’s ignorant of me to say, maybe everyone knows that asparagus looks just like it does at the grocery store when it’s growing out of the ground, but, urbanite city dweller that I am, I was quite surprised. “It looks like someone took an asparagus spear and stuck it in the ground,” I said to Casey Price, the owner of Jeremiah Farms whose vegetable patch I was standing in. She gave me an indulgent nod and, reaching down, snapped one off at the base and held it out to me. “Eat it,” she said, “I’ll bet you’ve never had an asparagus as good as this one.” Having never eaten an asparagus without it first being drenched in garlic butter and grilled, I was a little hesitant. “Aren’t they bitter?” I asked, but she just shook her head and gestured for me to take a bite; It was amazing. Sweet and crunchy, that first little nibble turned into two bites and the spear was gone. “How much for a bunch?” I asked and Casey just laughed. |

Written by Valerie Jones I am a huge fan of the first season of "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. The title really covers all of what this show is about. Well the creators of "16 and Pregnant" have put their heads together to provide an inside view of what teen moms go through with their day-to-day lives in the new show "Teen Mom" on MTV, Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. I think this is the best way to give a true outlook to the audience, on all of the real hardships these teens go through. This show proves to young America being a parent is not all fun and games. This show should be a calling card to any young teen girls who only wish to have a child to keep their boyfriends with them. In general, a relationship will not always work just because there is a child involved. I think it is safe to say for most teens, a baby can have the power to destroy an already shaky relationship. Any teen wanting to have a baby, or having un-protected sex, should have to watch these shows. "Teen Mom" takes you into the world of 4 young mothers. So far, in the couple of episodes I have viewed, I have a very good idea of what is going on . . . and what will probably happen.

There would be no story of heartbreak from Julie tonight. Instead, we all were trying to act like it was nothing out of the ordinary that she had seen fit to bring her new love interest to dinner. That is, until said love interest got up to go to the restroom. “Ok, I know you’re newly involved and whatnot, but no one brings their other half to Thursday night!” Erin, the workaholic of the group, was never one to sugarcoat words. “What?” Julie asked innocently, “It is girl’s night. Alex is a girl”. We were all trying to be as supportive as possible of Julie’s decision to ‘try something new’, but that was when we could hear about it, not watch the PDA-filled love fest over the chips and salsa. “Well, I didn’t pry my baby girl off my boob just to come here and watch your new girlfriend all over yours!” Tabitha said harshly. She had gotten pregnant only a couple of months after her wedding, and was now a fairly new mom in addition to being a fairly new wife. Everyone knew that she was a little testy because she was still nursing and couldn’t have more than 1 glass of wine.
