The sixth installment of our farm share arrived today! We got macintosh apples, sweet corn, buttercup squash, red kuri squash, cabbage, red kale, leeks, russet potatoes, onions, tomatoes, beets and green leaf lettuce. As I unpacked everything, I got to thinking about how, in just six short weeks, the program has completely changed the way we eat. Our fridge is literally overflowing with fresh produce! Knowing that we only have a limited amount of time to enjoy everything definitely curtails our inclination to snack when we're out and makes processed foods seem increasingly unappealing. It has also made us more purposeful shoppers since we usually only go to the grocery store to pick up items to complement our weekly rations. I will be very sad when the program ends. In the meantime though, with fresh leeks and potatoes on hand, Potato Leek Soup is on our menu tonight!
