While Americans celebrate history by eating (I have two cookouts to attend tonight), take a look at history you can eat. The Garden State Heirloom Seed Society is trying to make sure we don't lose the thousands of varieties of vegetables and fruit developed over the years.

I'm taking coleslaw made from two varieties of cabbage and two varieties of carrots out of my garden, sweetened with local honey. Supermarket produce can't compare to the wonderful taste and variety of freshly grown heirloom vegetables.
