So the veggies were ordered, brought home, and now consumed.
I knew it would be wonderful. 🙂
Given what was in the box, Wife made a ratatouille (ish) side dish with it all. I think what stunned me the most was the eggplant. I’m not a fan of eggplant, but boy this was much better than the big-ass purple eggs you typically find at the grocery store with their thick leather skins.
Now I knew it would be like this. I knew that it would taste so much better. All I kept saying through dinner was “man, I really want this to work out”. I just have to be mindful of how to afford it. And realize, it doesn’t necessarily have to just be a dollar-for-dollar exchange. It can also mean that we find something else in our lives to cut back/out so we can afford this — prioritize, determine what’s more important, and so on.
Of course, we have other adjusting to do as well give my new fitness program is having me consume food like a zombie at a brain-festival. Need more red meat. 🙂
And you know, I really need to get better about taking pictures of things. Like here, taking a picture of the ratatouille.
Both eggplants and zucchini are underused vegetables; they are quite good if prepared properly.
I love zucchini. Just can’t get into eggplant, but I’ll say the “white and purple streaked” one that came in the box was pretty good and could change my opinion on eggplant.
