i returned from colorado to an empty refrigerator.  while the grocer is on today's long to-do list, i did find it quite easy to convince myself to stop in la jolla's university town center campus pointe complex to meet my friend for lunch at her office.  the newly revamped building is seeking LEED certification, and has directed focus to corporate responsibility.  within the campus setting, they share an amazing "cafeteria", fibonacci's, run by waters fine food, in collaboration with urban plantations.  not only is the food delicious, but a majority of the produce come from an organic garden that they maintain right outside the buildings.  it's quite brilliant.  keep your employees happy, healthy and they don't have to stray far for a good lunch, thus upping productivity and general attitude.  we filled our salad containers with kale, chard, and roasted root vegetables.  strolling over to the gardens we enjoyed an hour of sunshine in the grass, and got a wonderful break to the day!
