An apple a day...

...still leaves us 2-4 servings short of our daily fruit requirement.

I can't take credit for the hilarious quote- saw it on a shirt in the Mental Floss store.

I picked up our veggies from our farm share today. Apparently the blistering heat has not stopped the cucumbers from growing. I split the share with three other people- the other Sarah at work and I go every other week and this we we were met an obscene amount of cucumbers. Thirty, to be exact.

I really enjoy the farm share. It provides us with biweekly veggies and really saves money- $175 for the whole season (May-November.) Tonight, along with our spinach ravs (not farm) we had sautéed Swiss chard and a cucumber and tomato salad. Awesome. But now I have to figure out what to do with the rest of this:


Carrots, squash, radishes, celery, a head of lettuce, a bag of greens yet to be named.

Tomorrow I make pickles.

Last week was the last time I made it to the grocery store and I'm on boycott until the end of next week because I'm scrambling trying to get through the perishable remains. See that crock in the background of the pic? Last night I made a turkey London broil simmered in veggie broth with plums! 

Mr. BB and I ran some errands after the farm. Got my wedding band checked for my warranty (where some whooo-are asked if BB was safe in his sling- uh, go poop in your hat, lady) and then after two years of contemplation, I finally got my five fingers. 

Delightful.



In other news, I have to vacuum my car floor.

I LOVE my farm share! Although mine is much more expensive than yours, $400 for a full share for the season, and we split ours with another family. So far we have gotten a ton of greens, no cucumbers yet, but I am just waiting. I LOVE cucumbers!

Hello from SITS!

I've really wanted to do our local farm share, and it's a pretty decent price, so I'm not sure why I haven't actually placed an order! :D

Maybe it's kale? I can't tell what your green mystery jawn is. I know we briefly touched on this on Saturday because Kelly said her Dad does it too, but me, Andy, and my Dad all love raw radishes. Slice those pups up with some vinegar or dressing, and that's it. They have such a great peppery taste when eaten raw.
