Nature’s Garden Delivered
Kristin and I have been eating fresh local/regional organic fruits and veggies delivered to our door on Saturdays. It’s so convenient: set your preferences online and exchange seasonal items you don’t want. This is especially great because the Dekalb Farmer’s Market is about 40 minutes away… it takes a lot of time to get there from Midtown and then shop around.
We’ve had really good Georgia peaches, apples, Bibb lettuce, grapefruit, potatos, chard, you-name-it… (Had to learn to cook the chard: like mediterranean collards. Interesting.) This even encouraged me to eat more fruits & vegetables, which really fits in with Shawn’s sentiments: Six Tricks to Healthy Eating.

A side note about wilting- When celery, fresh carrots, chard, or lettuce wilt (you know, without turning bad), just chop off the bottom of the stalk about 1 cm from the end, and put in a glass of water overnight. We learned this trick way-back-when with food coloring in science class. Because crispy veggies = delicious, I’ll be using this trick more often.
