Be sure to check out all we’ve got available to add in your curated boxes. Or, curate them for yourselves by taking out what you don’t want, and switching it with something that you do. Or, just get a whole box filled to the brim with Pekarek’s Produce broccoli crowns, or stock up on The Edible Source’s last burst-of-the-season cherry tomatoes — these freeze so easily, and will brighten your life when you come across them, mid-winter. It’s really all up to you.
This week be sure to notice all the egg-cellent deals on eggs! (Sorry, I couldn’t help it, although I did egg-cercise some restraint…)
But truly, do take note of all the eggs. Country Lane Gardens chicken eggs — we’ve got pullets, larges by the dozens, and larges by the two dozen count. Egg bagels and eggs from the duck. Heard from a Nebraska Box subscriber this last week about how duck eggs make the most fluffy omelets. Check this out to do your own duck egg omelets, if you haven’t tried them before… I asked Matt, of RhizoCity Farms how he likes to eat the beautiful purple daikon radishes they grow. Well wouldn’t you know, in addition to eating them shredded, raw in salads, and roasted, he said they eat them with eggs. Eggs, eggs, eggs — it begs, begs, begs the question–why not scramble and get ’em while they’re on sale? (Oh restraint be gone.)
Watermelon that’s a Sweet Gem, and some radish that are Watermelon–don’t get them mixed up, unless it’s in a salad… and if you do that, let me know how it turned out! In fact, first person to email me what you made with both your watermelons together…wins a coupon for ten bucks. Just enough to buy yourself a round of each. Good good deal.
