A Most Unusual Party Favor

My niece and her husband have a moderately sized home and lot. They make good use of the available land and plant vegetables. They have corn, peppers, zuchini, tomatoes and various herbs.

Yesterday, they celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. They started their day with a mass where they renewed their vows.

Then we went to their party, where we had a delicious meal followed by a wonderful dessert - a three layer white cake with chocolate mousse between the layers and a vanilla cream topping.

When it was time to leave, she brought out the favors. She had a bumper crop, so was sharing her bounty. My party favor was two zuchini and two cucumbers.

This was much better than a dish or chocolate.
