Food... and more food

[chickenfeet]

We got our first $20 organic veggie box today. Delicious raspberries, some peppers, a couple of summer squash, a small bunch of really nice carrots, some spinach, salad mix, assorted sugar and snow peas (which were a bit past their sell by date) and some tiny beets with the greens. All in all not bad.

I also have a 1.5kg octopus and Peruvian olives. We are not going to starve.

Also, in food plans, must check out the new T&T store. It's a very large Asian supermarket and the first one to open in this part of town.

I love Asian supermarkets ... take a few pics if you're there!

Which organic food box program are you with? A $20 box sounds like the right amount to try out.

It's a friend of a friend thing. I'm not sure how big the operation is.

If it expands, you'll tell the world (or at least the Ginny)? I would like a delivery service, but I am one, so a $20 box would be perfect, I think (I'm also one sporadically employed).

mmm... octopus!

I hope it's not a Pacific Tree Octopus. Those are very endangered...

I thought there was something a bit dodgy about the Sasquatch who sold it to me

Mmmm, octopus. I used to love it, until I found out how intelligent they are, and watched one play with a guy at the Steinhart Aquarium. Intelligence is one thing, but playfulness...

Fortunately ling cod are ugly and have bad personalities, so no problem eating those.
