Special Delivery!

So winter weather and a nonexistent work environment have put us a bit in the doldrums but we got just the thing to cheer us up! Say hello to our weekly Urban Organics Delivery:



Urban Organics is a company that delivers organic fruits and veggies to your door. We are going try out using it during the winter months until our CSA (community supported agriculture) starts their delivery service in May. We wish it was local AND organic but alas, we don't live in southern California so it's not really possible in the winter in the northeast unless we are going to live on potatoes alone. This week our delivery contained:
CORN
ROMAINE LETTUCE
RED KALE
RED POTATOES
JEWEL YAMS
TANGERINES
DAN JOU PEARS
HAMLON ORANGES
BANANAS
MANGO
KIWI
FUJI APPLES
BUNCH CARROTS
CAULIFLOWER
RED ONIONS

Also since we don't have a child to entertain you (Hi, Carter!) we will try to post pics and recipes (if they turn out well) of our new vegetable adventures. Here's to full bellies and new adventures in cooking!

Yum, yum, yum! How exciting! We just joined a CSA, but it doesn't start until April. I'm salivating over your "winter" produce.

Oh - and remind Patrick to take the skin OFF the kiwi before he tries to eat it...

Um, community supported agriculture? Really? I do not take advantage of this city nearly enough.

I'm glad Patrick married you for a number of reasons, and especially because you got him to eat his vegetables! Maybe I never made them look as good or cooked them as well. Beautiful!

I am totally impressed with how domestic and handy you have become Kir! I even passed the link to your blog to "the girls" and your aunts and uncles to brag about you! You and Patrick did a great job on the kitchen! The place looks very inviting! We will be stopping by as often as possible! Especially now that you two are doing the cooking :-) Love, Mom
