Vegetable delivery
Last Friday we received our first organic vegetable delivery. Everything was delicious although the spicy lettuce mix was REALLY spicy. There was a purple leafed fern looking lettuce that tasted very strongly of horseradish!
We just finished the last of the vegetables last night (except for the tomatoes since we are still getting those from my brothers garden - I canceled them from our basket until further notice)and will be getting another delivery sometime today. Looks like it's the perfect amount of food for us! And I ordered some organic, local ground beef for my carnivorous boyfriend. I'll be glad to ween him off of McDonald's!

Re: Vegetable delivery
How cool! I'm glad that it seems to be working out really well for you.
Since your boyfriend likes meat so well, have you thought about trying some more vegetarian type "meat"? My daughter bought some mushroom burgers that we grilled out, and you couldn't tell that they weren't "real" meat. They were really good. I think the brand she got is Morning Star, and you can get it at Walmart. Eats like meat, tastes like meat, but it's actually vegetarian. It may make the transistion a LOT easier.

Re: Vegetable delivery
I love Morning Star!!! He does like the breakfast patties but still isn't quite ready to accept them as meat substitutes. He really loves meat and doesn't want to give it up - and I'm not going to make him. I do pester him about eating healthier meats - both for his health and the earth's health. I offered to raise animals to have slaughtered and you should have seen the look on his face! He's not quite ready to accept where those ribs really come from!
I don't mind him eating meat, by the way - just not used to it! I was raised vegetarian, so I never got used to the taste (well, the texture mostly). I also have realized that I couldn't slaughter an animal myself to eat and that doesn't seem fair to me. I just want to get him off feedlot beef and the likes. I do have an environmental moral issue with those places.

Re: Vegetable delivery
I don't blame you, Texas. I can't say a whole lot, though, as I do buy meat from the grocery stores, just not as frequently as I used to. I honestly prefer my venison....but I do love my chicken. If we could keep the dogs out of a chicken coop, I'd almost see if our landlord would allow us to raise some for meat, and eggs. I have not actually done the killing of chickens, but my ex did, and I plucked them. The meat is a little stringier, but has a much better taste to me.
Anyway...maybe little by little, doing the Morning Star....make it a very gradual process....with his knowledge, of course...lol.
