See what was waiting for me when I got up this morning. It was like Christmas, only this time Santa had brought a box of organic veggies and fruit instead of toys. Actually, considering how much I like to cook–and to eat–the veggies and fruit are like toys to me.
So what to my wondering eyes did appear when I opened the carton?
What I pulled out and stowed in the fridge was not only what you see here–beets, lettuce, broccoli–but also asparagus, new Butterball potatoes, collard greens, two kinds of apples, grapefruit, and avocados. All picked from an organic farm yesterday and delivered to me today.
I’ve ordered the once-a-month shipment from Farm Fresh To You because, really, there’s only me to feed, and leftovers are only decently left over for about a day. So this is an experiment for me: will I make use of all the produce? Or will some of it get junked when it’s dried up or withered or just plain sad-looking? As part of the experiment, I’m going to challenge myself to cook new-to-me (or created-by-me) recipes to use the produce. And I’ve decided that, lucky you, I’ll share the experiment here. Prepare to be over-, under- or just plain whelmed.
