All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's gotta be a good sign, right?

I'm going to go with yes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You can use daikon in pretty much any Japanese recipe in the same way. It is kinda strong, though.

Subsequent IM from my boss:

Ah! Ok...so, we will just do your review over dinner...and talk about JM, and then have fun
V_____, Chris (US) [8:51 PM]:
But your review will be fun!

So, not like I was worried. But still.

And also, here is where we're doing dinner: [link]

A CSA you choose from, though, seems more likely to be known as a farmers' market.

Except I spend more than $5/week on produce.... which is essentially what the CSA is offering. Just a subscription plan, I guess (and I like that if you miss pickups, they have a list of local orgs they will donate your share too.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Mine did this, too. Which I like.

I just sliced off the end of one of them and ate it, and I'm pleased to report that I really like it. I'll figure something out tomorrow.

This is not exactly a CSA, but it's a weekly produce share from this little organic grocery down the street. Each week is 4 veg/ 2 fruit, $15 a week.

This week's is:

Mango
Oranges
Ginger & Garlic
Bok Choy
Broccoli
Daikon

Also, is it possible to have a crush on a store? Because I totally do. Everything is really good, local as much as they can, and, um, not cheap. And unfortunately by "everything" at this point I mostly mean beer. But they're so *nice* that I also end up buying $10 craft perogis and shit.

I don't know why it bothers me so that I'll probably need to throw out the last steak from a value pack tomorrow. It's only about $1.40 worth of meat, so it's not like I've come home to discover a refrigerator full of spoiled food or anything. The punctured cheap-ass TV dinner I bought the other week was a bigger financial outlay.

You can't freeze it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. My cat now comes running to me when she hears me unzipping my laptop case, because she knows she might get some quality lap-sitting time in....

I think it's to the point of turning, so re-freezing it would just delay having to throw it out.

There's just some part of my brain yelling "YOU CAN'T LET STEAK GO TO WASTE!" despite the fact that it's bargain basement meat.

But there is no way I'm going to risk eating it for dinner tomorrow this soon after a bout of food poisoning.
