Pepper plethora
It's hot. I had a hard, non-stop busy day at work. I am going to see Food, Inc. tonight with some friends. I feel like I've hardly been home since like Saturday; just a lot of out-of-the-house activities. I'll compensate by recharging with some home/alone time this weekend (though even then I have some stuff planned - I'll keep it balanced, though!)
Picked up my CSA box today. I decided not to take photos of every box's contents any more. I just don't have the lighting conditions to make nice photos, and until I live in a sun-soaked kitchen (which I'm not actually sure I'd even want, anyway, not in TX - no, don't want more heat!) that's not apt to change. But I do still like having a record of what's in the boxes. It promotes an awareness (in me and in others who don't live in TX or who don't eat lots of vegetables) of seasons and what grows when. This week's' box: bunch of basil, small bunch mint, three small zucchini, three small yellow squash, bag of onions (red and white and yellow, about 1kg, est.), bag of potatoes (1.5kg, est.), 8 small patty pan squash, one large tomato, three eggplant (two dark purple, one lighter), lots of peppers (some of which I traded (the jalapenos for example) for an extra eggplant), one medium melon.
Still trying to limit my time on the computer as my traps are still healing, and typing, even with my nice ergonomic setup, aggravates my upper back and neck, especially after a hard day at work.
Off to the kitchen for veggie management, and then to the movie!
