WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

Trying to live a practical, but compassionate life towards all living creatures (animal, mineral, vegetable, humanable) without being a self-righteous ass.

You gotta spend money to lose money: organic veggies

Current Problem: How to set up organic veggie delivery from the Jardin des Anges.

This is one of those services that source organic produce--local or otherwise--and bring you a mixed bag of fruits and veggies for a set amount each week. I like the idea for two reasons:

(1) I always need to eat more F&V and I figure, if I'm paying $35 a week, I'll be motivated to eat/cook it all. If not, I can always cancel the service.

(2) Even with time on my hands, I don't tend to shop with specific recipes in mind. I usually just buy whatever I'm in the mood for, and look for recipes that I have the ingredients for. So I'm not bothered by the Veggie Surprise! element of this system.

But they need you to leave out a cooler somewhere, in case you're not home when they deliver. I'm thinking a cooler outside the door of my apartment, in the hall. Fernando only agreed if it was locked, so I think I'll need a trip to Canadian Tire to pick up both a cheap cooler and a lock that I can install on it.

Hmph! Getting off the Military Industrial Cornplex costs time and money!
