highlyeccentricWhat was in Box 2.1
- About five tomatoes, of which only one had enough structural integrity to be held in my hand and subsequently added to curry sauce
- Two fennel, one huge and one tiny
- two zucchini
- another prodigious amount of carrots
- three bulbs of dried garlic
- a baggie of potatoes
- a generous handful of green beans
- a purpleish letuce
- two green capsicum
- two more lemons
- quite a lot of plums
- another probably-rockmelon
- some apples which I forgot to mention last time
What I had left from previous boxes: some carrots, some potatoes, a wrinkly apple, one lemon. The lemons from the previous box went weird before I got to them this week.
What I cooked:
* Eggplant and tomato curry, with exactly one of the overripe tomatoes, the only one structurally sound enough to use
* Spiced potatoes and carrots
* curried fennel and carrot, which became a salad
* An attempt at toum, which ended up as a garlic-mint-cucumber relish
* Bread pudding with plums
* Fennel and zucchini pilaf
* Chicken with plums, with a side of roast vegetables
* A mushroom and capsicum and chili mix for soft tacos
Plus, from not-box ingredients, pesto gnocchi, eggplant and feta pasta, and a lot of hard boiled eggs for breakfast.
What is in box 2.2:
* Two cauliflower
* A bag of potatoes
* More carrots
* One fennel
* Two zucchini
* A cucumber
* A handful of tomatoes, only one split and bursting
* A bunch of radishes
* An iceberg lettucce
* Some bananas
* Some apples
* About four pears
* Some shrink-wrapped pre-cooked beetroots
* Half a kilo of plums
Left over I still have some green beans, half a lettuce that is probably manky but might go in stock, some carrots, two lemons (one with rind grated off), some apples and half a capsicum.
