So I’m not going to post the photo for the December 9 delivery. It’s too bad because it was one of the most perfect looking bunches of produce I have gotten from Greenling so far. Everything was flawless—even the avocados. When I first felt the avocados I went on and on about how I was sure that they were going to be completely rotten inside. I whipped out a knife and cut the softest one open, without any intentions of using it at that time because I was 99.9% sure that it was going to have to go into the trash. And what did I see when I twisted it apart? Perfection. There was not one stinkin’ brown spot anywhere inside. So I literally had to eat my words—and into the salad it went. When that box arrived it was cold, windy and raining. I was not about to go set up the goods outside for a photo, so I just laid it out on the dining room table and took a snapshot for the sake of record-keeping. But seriously the photo is bad, so if you really want to see it, you’ll have to go to Flickr and take a look. You’ve been warned.

The photo for the December 12 delivery is only a little bad. Here it is:

I was sick for three days this past week with a stomach virus (ugh), so that’s my excuse for this photo. BUT just as I started to feel a little better, my Lowel EGO lights arrived. So I decided to break them out for a test run. This probably would have turned out pretty good if I had turned off the overhead light, which was causing all the harsh shadows on the table. Had I felt better I might have spent a little more time, but I didn’t so this is it folks. Sorry! Treats for this week included green leaf lettuce, arugula spinach blend, grapefruits, oranges, cilantro, oregano, another head of cabbage, lacinato kale, radishes, meyer lemons, apples and my personal favorite, green tomatoes.
