Status: still obsessed with turnips

[bladespark]

Apparently I am coping with things by fixating on produce. I dunno, it's something new and interesting and exciting that I'm doing.

And I do at least sorta mean "new". I was raised very poor, so our vegetables were cheap, bagged, frozen veggies mixes, 99% of the time. JJ, who introduced me to "real" food, is something of a carnivore. There are veggies he likes, but overall he's a meat and potatoes kind of guy. So large amounts of fresh produce are something I'd have to do on my own, and just...haven't until now.

Right now the Farm Share Thing is in the "pre-season", before they do their regular produce boxes. However they are currently doing bonus boxes of a sort, on a limited, first come, first serve basis, offered via e-mail to their Farm Share e-mail list. Every Monday they send out an e-mail saying what they're harvesting now and will put in the box for Saturday, and you reply to claim and pay for your box, or your skip it.

I'm using up the last of the box from nine days ago tonight (some potatoes) so I'm super anticipating finding out what'll be in this week's box.

Ergo every single time I get an e-mail notification right now, I'm all "OMG, maybe it's the farm share box list!" And so far every time it has not been. Booo. I want to know if I'm getting turnips or not! I want to know what greens they're sending. I want to know if I get jam! Some of the boxes have jam! Will there be jam?

So yeah, totally obsessed with produce right now. I guess there are worse things!

There's nothing wrong with being excited about produce. :)

That's good! (And my last e-mail notification was your comment, and still not the e-mail, dangit! :D Guess they're running late today.)
