thoughtful consumption

This week’s box

• chevre (goat cheese)
• eggs
• garlic
• onions
• green beans
• coffee
• basil
• Asian pear!
• apples
• potatoes
• tomatoes

And from the store this week, I bought

• more onions,
• pancake mix,
• field peas,
• and sausage.

I’m in danger of developing a $30 a month sausage habit.

So far…

I got a bunch of stuff done this evening. I

• made pesto,
• cored, peeled, and cooked some apples,
• washed and cooked the larger half of the green beans,
• shelled all the field peas,
• and cooked field peas and black rice.

And we had leftover cabbage, pizza, and new green beans for supper.

Two kinds of field peas!

The ones on the left are purple-hulled; I’m not sure about the ones on the right. I can tell you that they turn an unappetizing greenish-gray when cooked although they taste delicious.

Lunches

I’m substitute teaching the next couple of days, so I’m packing lunches. Tomorrow I’m taking pesto pasta and some cooked apples. Friday I’ll have field peas and black rice and probably more cooked apples.

Check back tomorrow for ideas for Asian pears and more.
