Gifts

You know you have cats when your husband yells "Someone left a gift!" and you respond "mouse or bird?" However, it occurred to me that he was a little happy. "Is it the Ukulele strings you ordered?" It wasn't any of those exciting things. 

It was this...

When I was visiting my family in Germany, one of our cousins had a box of beautiful veggies delivered once a month or twice a month. When I came back home I looked into having a box of veggies delivered to me. I never really found any good services at the time.

I thought about it a lot and looked into it here and there, but haven't really found a service that fit. Until last weekend. We were at the Greek Festival in LA, Mario and I were walking around enjoying the food and music, when we came upon a "Farm Fresh to You" booth. I was so excited! Of course there was no one running it. We hung out for a while and then took off. We came back to that booth three times and no one was there. I started to except the inevitable...my veggie box delivery wasn't going to happen. Then at the last minute, I went back for one more look...THEY WERE THERE! I practically jumped the guy. Luckily he was so nice and talked veggie recipes with Mario, while I filled out the form.

We weren't supposed to get anything until next week, but I am so excited! I cannot wait to get started on it! 

Green Chard, honeydew melon, heirloom tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, plums, peppers, lettuce, carrots, baby bok choy, beets, grapes, pears

Getting a box of veggies on the porch is way better than a dead bird...no offense bob.
