I’ve been rather lax the past few weeks, just not as much time. Starting over again this week.
Today’s box from Organics to You contains:
- Head of Romaine lettuce
- some broccoli
- A bunch of carrots
- 2 enormous yellow potatoes
- 1 leek
- celery
- spinach
- 1 red onion
- 1 yellow onion
- cauliflower
- 3 Enterprise apples
- 3 Bosc pears
- 3 red pears
- 3 Mandarins
- 4 kiwis
From last week the fridge still contains:
- some lettuce
- some broccoli
- 2 carrots
- spinach
- several potatoes
- some red beets
- piles of apples
- 2 Bosc pears
- 3 mandarins
- several kiwis
- celery
- green onions
- a red onion+
- 2 yellow onions
- green, curly kale
- head of cauliflower
- A couple of oranges
- some kale
- some spinach
- probably some other things, but I haven’t kept track
In the past few weeks Christie has reminded me that fresh, squeezed OJ is a great way to use up an enormous pile of oranges & mandarins – yum! I need to make applesauce, that’s the best way to deal with all the apples. I made a huge pot of stew that we actually managed to eat nearly all of! There’s been roasted cauliflower and potatoes with tempeh and several gorgeous salads. Stir-fry dishes have been showing up regularly too.
This week I’m thinking aloo gobi and a dal of some sort, perhaps tomorrow night. We have such an enormous pile of potatoes and now 2 heads of cauliflower, plus so many onions, that it will be a great way to use up a bunch. Maybe I’ll even surprise my two Indian co-workers with some to take home. I’m going to keep trying to make us salads in the evening to have for lunch the next day — keeps on top of the lettuce and is a nice way to get some extra veggies eaten. We’re planning a picnic on Sunday (in the car if it is pouring or someplace with a shelter, so I might make some potato salad & perhaps a bunch of tofu/broccoli stir-fry. All the mandarins might go into fresh juice for the Valentine’s Day mimosas we’re planning!
