Summer Journal: Week 3

This past week featured, of course, the 4th of July, as well as a couple nice get-togethers with friends. When I look through my pictures, all I got was food.

Ah, well.

A few weeks ago, I started getting a weekly box from Full Circle. For a person who tends to freeze with indecision at farmers' markets, this is a great solution. You can pick the produce (and other groceries, like milk, butter and grains) that goes your box, but they give you a good starting point to start swapping from. For instance, unless you select otherwise, you might get a pound each of zucchini and carrots, a couple peaches, a head of red leaf lettuce, an onion, a cucumber and a cantaloupe in your box.  I pick it up at the Lutheran church in Browne's Addition every Tuesday after work, and it's like Christmas, even though I know what I'm getting.

I try to incorporate a bit of it in each meal, whether it's a hearty salad, roasted vegetables, or something else fun like zucchini fritters.

Food is nourishing, indeed.
