For all you food purists, my dinner has onions and celery and green beans. I might even have an apple.

I am making pork with prunes in the slow-cooker. I can't wait to get home.

I might even have an apple.

You could stuff that with maraschino cherries and bake it if you don't feel you've met your daily fruit requirement.

I am having pizza, Nature's Perfect Food. Hilariously, the pizza store guy suggested that the white pie was for dieters. He said, I haven't seen you in a long time! I said, I try not to come in here. He said, What, are you dieting? I said, Sometimes.... Then he suggested the white pie.

Has anyone ever bought farm share in a Community Sponsored Agriculture program? I'm considering this one.

I think msbelle and maybe Jessica have.

Facebook just freaked me out. I was wondering earlier what ever happened to this one girl from high school. I knew she'd blow our hometown and have an interesting life. She found me on fb. And it looks like she does have an interesting life, jumping off a glacier in a bikini...

I did. It was good because it forced veggie experimentation in my cooking. But at times it was also a PITA because of how we had to pick it up.

I think our pick up is local (and since we're in a very small town) it shouldn't be a huge hassle. I'm going to call the contact and see what the deal is.

Cash, we love our CSA (*not* SCA!), and I'm pretty sure Hil and Jessica have both done them in the past, although I don't know if they're doing them this season. I'd try to get a better sense of what they grow, beyond "the usual variety of veggies" -- the ones around here will all give you a list, but then we're in a somewhat saturated CSA market; if that's the only one in your area, they may just not have a lot of marketing materials prepped. Also, they should be upfront about their policies if you have to miss a pickup, etc (for comparison, I forfeit if I just don't show up, but I can get a double share the week before or after if I let them know about a vacation or suchlike a week in advance) -- you are paying for stuff upfront, so you can't just ditch your box of veggies, but it's fair to expect good customer service.

Policies are a little different at each one; you may have just a box of whatever, or you may have some choice; some have add-on items like meat or eggs in addition to veg boxes. But whatever the policies, they should feel like good people to work with. After all, the idea is bringing them and you together.

(OMG I can apparently tl;dr at the drop of a hat when it comes to CSA.)

I joined one with a friend this year, but it hasn't started yet; the first pick-up is next week.

...I have to remember not to buy too many fruits & veggies this weekend.
