box 14 - sign o' the times...

...is a critically acclaimed prince album and so i was going to try to say something cool about that. the truth is i had to check wikipedia to make sure that it was a prince album, and then i couldn't be bothered pretending that i really knew what i was talking about. i didn't recognise any of the songs on the track list anyway...

the real connection between the title and the box has to do with the contents of box 14 - there were no green leafies (and i like my greeens), and some grapes that were approaching sad. there was also broccoli, avocado, tomatoes, potatoes (more on these later), mushrooms, pears, plums, corn, zucchini (this is the german version), apples and a couple of beetroots.

here is a photo...

see, not really all that much produce. i think this has a lot to do with droughts and flooding rains. it is a bit like the first box i ordered.

the other night, i conned convinced some mates of mine, lets call them monica and chandler, to give the box a go. it really didn't take all that much convincing to be honest.

here is a picture of monica's box (now come on, grow up)...

that's more like it really, and more like some of the other boxes i have received. you should note the excellent arrangement, cornucopic really.

also, are these actually large enough to be called potatoes...

the one at the back is, but those 3 near the 50c piece...they should have been thrown back. they are almost not worth washing...

is the gloss wearing off? will another box be ordered? is it time for a break from the box? tune in tomorrow...same box time, same box channel for the answers to these questions and more.

(note - heston just made a chocolate starfish for dessert. team this with the tuna tacos they made on masterchef this year, and you could have a double entendre dinner. suggestions for entree welome)
