Marz has started a new job at a food co-op, and she was saying she needs to learn to recognize many fruits and vegetables.
So I water-colored these flashcards for her this afternoon.
I learned more than Marz, doing these. (In fact, she said they "weren't useful, thank you so much.")
Like, I had no idea the rutabaga is a cross between the turnip and the cabbage. Click to read more about this fascinating root vegetable, known as a "snadger" in northeast England and a "neep" in Scotland.

Your paintings are wonderful, humorous, beautiful.
Please, Fresca...please write and illustrate your own stories - for the children that live within us all.
I watched the documentary about the Moomins' mother, Tove. You are equal to her talent and her delightful, satirical and spot-on view of the world. Wish I could have met her.
This totally could be a funny "eat your vegetables" children's book! I don't see how Marz couldn't find these helpful! I know I did! Do more! They are delightful!
Not just useless, *perfectly* useless.
Endive rocketships, run on gas I presume.
CROW: Thanks for your high praise! I do love that you write stories to go with your pictures. I just seem to lack that story-telling impulse.
BINK: Marz said it was CONFUSING to have the space craft associated with the veg.
ZHOEN: Perfectly useless? Talk about high praise! Thanks for that.
Marz, for once, is wrong. I would totally frame these.
I find the spacecraft associated with the vegetable helpful. "Snadger" and "neep" make this tasty root seem even tastier!
I was kind of thinking that myself, Krista.
POODLE: A rutbaga by any other name would taste as tasty.
(I don't think I've ever eaten one, actually! Must rectify...)
