Yesterday I signed on to a food delivery service with produce, meat, dairy that delivers weekly. This first week I opted for the vegetarian feast, a $19.99 package to spur me to think out of the box and into new areas of cooking.
Aside from a freak thunderstorm it’s been a beautiful weekend. Blue skies, lots of birds, and folks and dogs at the eco-festival yesterday. It’ll be tough to give Jim up tomorrow but I’ve a lot to do, starting off with the car. Not fun.
Then there’s my guitar lesson. I haven’t practiced in at least a week. A bit here and there. If there’s time I may do an interesting cold dinner tomorrow. It’s always a challenge here as Jim may not get back from work until 8-9 p.m. and I certainly can’t start a stew then but could do something quick. Normally if he doesn’t call by 8:00 we eat out or have delivery. After all it takes at least 20 minutes to get the oven to 400 degrees for a baked potato then another hour to cook. That would mean he shows up after 30 minutes on the road and still has to wait an hour for dinner.
I’m trying to find and cook new things and this service and going to the weekly farmers’ market should help expand our horizons. He’s always liked choosing and tasting strange-looking fruits. Veg is another story. Cheers! Dee

Hi! I like your srticle and I would like very much to read some more information on this issue. Will you post some more?
Looks like tomorrow morning I’ll receive my cooler and first surprise organic package. The frig is looking pretty clean except I’ll have an excess of eggs and milk. Hard-cooked eggs? Omelets? I’ll work it out. Dee
No more organic surprise boxes, they’ve been discontinued. I still have a sugar pumpkin, two butternut squash and two sweet potatoes so I’m thinking soup. Spicy curry? Dee
