bountifully

one more reason why i love our new little apartment oh so much: there is a bountiful baskets location a mile down the road, with a lovely pickup time of 8 o’clock.

this week’s basket includes ($15):

2 celery bunches

1 bunch red grapes

1 cantaloupe

1 coconut

1 – 2 lbs green beans

2 heads broccoli

4 tomatoes

9 gala apples

8 apricots

and because a nice woman didn’t want her bananas or red potatoes:

30 bananas (thirty!)

25 red potatoes

i also went ahead and ordered a bread basket and a mexican bag. both were worth well more than the price.

bread basket ($10):

5 loaves 9-grain bread

mexican bag ($7.50):

8 green chiles

4 jalapeno

4 avocado

6 limes

2 onions

1 bunch cilantro

14 tomatillos

2 bulbs garlic

1 bunch scallion

all of this produce and bread for a grand total of….. $32.50. let’s call it $16.25 spent per week on produce and bread. let’s also call it a super deal.

i’ve frozen 4 loaves of the bread and i plan on freezing nearly all of the bananas once they ripen. i am not sure what i will do with the coconut, but it’ll be interesting, to say the least. i also have a large bag of lemons and a similarly large bag of grapefruit from my grandparent’s trees that will most likely be made into some sort of juice (that is, after i freeze plenty of the lemon juice).

sewing

wip pincushion

sophie — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:59:49 +0000

now that i’m kind of a sewing fiend and all, i need an actual pincushion to stash all of my needles. inspired by something i found a while back, i put this one together this afternoon. it wouldn’t be a wip if i’d stop procrastinating and just buy the damn fiber fill already. maybe tomorrow.
