My New Addiction

Okay I found the coolest thing ever. I even got to try it before Morgan did so I can officially say that I found it before she did and shared it with her, even though she all ready knew about it. What am I talking about you might ask? Bountiful Baskets. I first heard about these from a friends blog and she had mentioned about trying to bring a sight to Fillmore and then I never heard any more about it until a few weeks ago someone brought in a flyer to work announcing that we had our very own sight. I won't go into too much detail about how the company works or exactly what it is but if you want you can check it out for yourself at www.bountifulbaskets.org But in a nut shell it is where you can order a basket of mixed produce for an incredible price. For only $16.50 a basket you get a ton of amazing fruits and vegetables. You don't get to pick what you get, you just get a variety of different things. For instance, we got 6 bundles of bokchoi. What the crap am I going to do with six bundles of bukchoi you might ask. Well heck if I know. At first I didn't even know how to spell it but I came home and googled some recipes that have bokchoi in it and I am going to try it out. I guess that's another thing good about doing this is it will make me try new recipes and ingredients because I can almost bet I would never say, "hey hon, do you feel like having a big dish of bokchoi for dinner tonight." But I am going to try it in a stir fry recipe sometime this week and I will let you know if my family thinks bokchoi is a thumbs up or a thumbs down. If nothing else at least it's fun to say. BOKCHOI.

So here is a picture of what I got for $16.50. I think it's quite the bargain, especially for Fillmore where they don't even carry bokchoi. Oh dang it I am back on the bokchoi again.....Here's what I got.

8 apples (one had all ready been eaten)

14 peaches (one had all ready been eaten)

1 bag of grapes

2 containers of fresh blackberries

8 bananas

1 honey dew

7 ears of corn

15 potatoes

1 head lettuce

4 red peppers

3 tomatoes

6 bundles of bokchoi

They also have different kinds of breads you can order that are fantastic. Most places they come once a week but they only come to Fillmore every other week. I might end up buying two baskets next time.
