We had 45 baskets today. 45. So very exciting. With more participants, the baskets are definitely better. And today had great items, so I am so happy we were able to get everything!
- two heads of romaine lettuce
- two bunches celery
- two packages grape tomatoes
- 78 cute little peppers
- six italian squash
- three bundles of asparagus
- two packages of mushrooms
- fourteen bananas
- two packages strawberries
- seventeen oranges
- fourteen gala apples
The fruit is easy. It will all be eaten. No planning necessary.
Lettuce, celery and mushrooms are easy. They just get used. I am SO excited about mushrooms.
Asparagus -- we end up roasting this with some olive oil and sea salt, then adding some melted butter.
Peppers -- I'm planning to play with stuffing some roasted peppers, to take care of a chunk of these. The others will just be "staples" too, being chopped and added to eggs, casseroles, whatever.
Squash -- that I need to figure out. Not quite sure what I'll do with those.
Grape tomatoes -- some will just be eaten as they are, some will end up in salads, some will be sliced and added to eggs and such.
Lauren says she's coming over to help eat the asparagus.
ReplyDeleteShe can sleep in Trina's room... :)
ReplyDeleteCan you even imagine the two of them together? Don't know about Lauren, but I know Trina would push for them to stay up giggling all night.
