Except it’s a service called SPUD! (I call the young delivery boys my “spudmuffins”) and every 2 weeks they deliver a box of produce. At least with these guys I can adjust the order a few days ahead but I too, find that I can’t eat everything, which causes stress, which probably undoes whatever good I’m getting from organic, local produce. And weird stuff! Weird like I don’t even know how to cook it or cut it up properly, even. What did all these weird vegetables do before people were forced to eat them?

robin: wait… is there really such a service? and why am i just learning about this now?!?!?!

You won’t have to worry about them rotting and they have no nutritional value whatsoever. Problem solved.

But your subconscious is screaming — SCREAMING — and you are this >< close to hearing it. I know you are, because of the picture you posted. Let me be blunt. Halfway through your tale of woe I started thinking what I would do. What I WOULD do, but can NOT do. I can NOT because over the winter, local possums and/or raccoons invaded our enclosure and destroyed our very efficient vegetable-matter disposal units. We have not yet replaced them due to other issues. However, YOU know you need them, because you prefaced this post with a beautiful picture. Yes! The light is coming on! [Don Pardo voice] Jen, hopefully you have a second bedroom, because you need about half a dozen chickens!

sizzle: that’s exactly how i’ve been preparing it, and it is yummy, but just… not every week. :)

shari: you have a really good point. why am i letting some stupid onion tell me what i can and cannot eat?

tracy lynn: really? i’m going to need to look into that!

claire: that would probably require me to buy a blender, wouldn’t it? my plans for living the simple life are quickly falling apart.

fiorello: if that thing wasn’t such a god awful mess to clean up, i might use it more often. but the idea of corn+cucumber+jalapeno+squash juice isn’t sounding all that tempting to me right now.

churlita: i’d like to introduce you to my friend, “you can call me sir.” you two should hang out, and then invite me over for a dinner party.

christie: that actually sounds pretty tasty! except i need to find a recipe that incorporates every single ingredient (except the cantaloupe – that’s just gross) so I can dump it all in a pot every wednesday and be done with these vegetables and their relentless nagging.

That’s it. I’m sticking with fat, sugar and starchy carbs from now on.
