Can It Be? Fresh Veggies?
After the nightmare of my veggie box deliveries failing ages ago and the delay in response after I dared to sign up again a month ago, I am receiving the veggie box at my home.
They deliver between 6a and 6p. By 5:45p, I still hadn't received it. Was I surprised? No. Was I pissed? YES!
I looked everywhere for their box when I got home and it was no where to be found. Crestfallen, I went along my regular routine of changing from work clothes to jammies (not really; how cute is the word "jammies?") I came downstairs and saw an ominous shadow by the door - squat, dark and suspiciously veggie boxish. My box arrived!
What fun I had taking out the large bunch of chard (covered in mud), the three heirloom tomatoes, the pint of blueberries, the little nectarines, the lettuce (which was already wilted; they don't travel well), and mini red onions. Since I was going to make a hamburger that night, the onions and tomato were most welcome since I had neither.
I am going to make a soup with the chard because I am very inexperienced with such things. I'm hoping the beau eats the lettuce because I don't want to. The beau is excite about the mini onions. The ones at the supermarket are as big as a softball. It's nice they come in non-irradiated sizes, too.
A random aside, I made the biggest burger patties last night. It was over an inch think. Too much! Very tasty, though. I covered mine in bleu cheese, BBQ sauce, mini red onions and tomato. Definitely stood up to Slow Club's burger, except for the gargantuan size.

I'm so happy it arrived! I was afraid to ask about it. Sometimes ours arrives at 8am...sometimes 6pm. I LOVE those little red onions. And now is such a great time for tomatoes and stone fruit.
Yes, jammies. Do yours have feet?
Those little red onions are wonderful! My jammies don't have feet. You'll find out why that's a good thing on my next post...
