Vegetable Box 2

Wow this box is even better that the first one - thank you to all at Shropshire's. So to quote the box labelling ' What's in the Box this Week?'

Potatoes - if the last box was anything to go by a spud with a perfect texture and flavour for a nice tatty salad, now my window sill herb pot is producing some healthy fresh parsley.

Savoy cabbage - for me the savoy is the king of cabbages and is it possibly more green than the non-organic types or am I wishful thinking. It will taste better of that I am sure, I am now so tasting flavour in my food and all since I changed to an organic diet.

Carrots - and this time I will be good and eat them as carrots not carrot cake, although that was delicious. OK its not really me being good as I made a ginger cake yesterday.

Cucumber - and its got a bend to it like the old days. So memories of my dad's homegrown are rushing in. Damn EEC insisting everything is straight, round etc. How dull! How would they like it if we force grew them in a tube (hmmm now theres a nice thought of what to do with a MEP)

Mushrooms - OK I will be upfront and honest here, this does puzzle me. How can a mushroom not be organic they grow in dark places with manure. Perhaps someone could kindly enlighten me on that please. I have to say the mushrooms are lovely as I nicked one for a treat raw as I was putting my box away. Definitely a difference.

Iceberg lettuce - Oh happy day, I love salads and needed an excuse to knock up some more mayo. I got some lovely eggs to do that too.

Apples - well they looked nice as they flew out the box via Jamie's hands. Comment from the sporty dude, 'Yeah mum fab'. Three words almost so must be good. Normally its a singular grunt.

Pears - HANDS OFF THESE ARE MINE!!! I love pears and again reminders of my youth and dad's home grown. Drooling already so gonna skip decorum and manners for a second... sweet and juicy perfect!

Garlic - the must have in my cooking well most of it. A fall back to my pre-organic days when food needed something to give it flavour maybe.

Anyway I am going to make some veggie soup, my lunch box needs something warming now the autumn has set in. Brightest blessings and thanks again to the lovely folk at Shropshire's for a fantastic box.
