box 12...

...is huge! I got a medium box to replenish supplies after being away for a while, and it is a whopper. heaps of good stuff. noticeable is the absence of stone fruit and the introduction of apples and pears...just as you'd expect really.

here is the photo...


so we have bananas, silverbeet, lettuce, 4 ears of corn, zucchini, mystery vegetable (see below), mushrooms, onions, potatoes, tomatoes (an heirloom variety - look weird but taste great apparently), apples, buerre bosc pears, nashi, grapes (!), carrots and broccoli...exhausting yeah? i've tried a couple of the grapes and they are intensely grapey...very very good.

here is the mystery vegetable...


i think perhaps it is not in fact all that mysterious and that it is a squash of some description. there is a chance (based on facebook evidence) that it is a poorly-formed, tiny honeydew. i would put money on squash but. comment in the comments.

thanks for asking! the holiday has been great so far. two weeks in merimbula - lots of swimming (including snorkelling - who knew?), prawning, eating, reading, relaxing, walking on the beach with the wind blowing through my hair etc etc. the weather was a bit grey at times, but it didnt really matter. back in PIGSTY now, and with still almost another 2 weeks hols to go. pretty good i reckon.

so, what's been happening with you?
