Today I pick up our first order from the Nebraska Food Co-op. I can’t wait! Steaks, ground beef, a whole chicken, a big tub of Quark (awesome cheese spread), mozzarella, bratwurst, breakfast sausage, etc. Plus I put down a reservation for a heirloom turkey for Thanksgiving! J I think my family was a little nervous about that – none of us has ever seen a bird that didn’t come in a Butterball wrapper…
To take full advantage of my birthday gift, I also signed up to volunteer with the co-op customer pick-up this afternoon. I’m pretty excited about the volunteering part; not so much about trying to park in Benson in the afternoon…
So, on the not-so-local food front, the DH asked for “permission” to buy some apples at HyVee yesterday (not that he has to ask, but he knows how into the local-food thing I am). He had sampled what he thought to be the “best apples EVER”. Craving apples myself, I consented and arrived home to find a $12 bag of apples! Holy crap! That’s a lot for a little bag of apples, don’t you think? Especially non-organic… However, I have to agree that they are the best apples I’ve had in a long while… And a welcome addition to my diet this fall. ML and I were hoping to drive down to the Kimmel Orchard in
