Farm Box: It Was Bound To Happen Eventually…

Farm Box: It Was Bound To Happen Eventually…

Eggplant in the farm box. So gross. How is it that a vegetable that is so easy on the eyes is so yucky on the tongue? Luckily I was able to pawn the eggplant off on some poor sap who actually thinks her, “husband makes the best stuffed eggplant on the planet.” But I can’t [...]

Farm Box Confession: I Am A Selfish Wife

Farm Box Confession: I Am A Selfish Wife

For the third week in a row, I’ve gotten fresh strawberries in my farm box. And, for the third week in a row, my husband doesn’t know this. Why? Because I’ve eaten all of them before he’s gotten home (and composted the evidence). When it comes to snacks, I have no scruples. I mean really. [...]

Hipster Crafts: Make A Mustache Out Of Beet Root

Hipster Crafts: Make A Mustache Out Of Beet Root

Fact: beets are evil. Look how (extra) bad Pannonica looks with her beet root mustache. And for the record: yellow beets taste like dirt. This week’s farm box includes 2 bunches of curly kale, 3 (bleech) yellow beets with greens attached, 19 strawberries, 2 cups of sugar snap peas, 3 Minneola tangerines, and 2 grapefruits.

WTF Farmbox A.K.A. Beets Taste Like Dirt

WTF Farmbox A.K.A. Beets Taste Like Dirt

It was bound to happen. Today’s farm box was filled with beets and potatoes, two of the only three vegetables I think are gross. It’s really too bad that I hate beets, because they (like my third hated vegetable, eggplant) are so pretty. You’d think that something that nice looking would taste good. But no. [...]
