Big Day for Local Agricultural Products

[multipurposegoddess]

Got my Box o' Produce. In today's shipment

• Leeks
• Raddicchio
• Purple Kale
• Red Leaf Lettuce
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Tangelos
• Anjou Pears
• Gala Apples
• one Onion

Still remaining from last month's box:

• one Onion
• Dino Kale
• Radicchio
• Some Other Kind of Kale
• Rainbow Chard

Don't know how much of that is really still edible.
Then my local honey arrived - I was not expecting that so fast! It really didn't have far to come, but still, UPS Ground can ake a long time to go a short distance. Not this time. Now sampling:

• Honey-So-Fresh, guaranteed harvested within the last month Just light and clean.
• Eucalyptus-Acacia, the winter seasonal choice, darker both in color and flavor. Really interesting tasting
• SF Bay Area Beekeepers' Blend, to cover the whole area, theoretically. A wildflower honey. I am often leery of wildflower honey, it can be too cloying and floral for me, but this one is fine.
• Sweet Solano is waiting for Spring

3 t of honey a day may be too much, especially since scooping honey out of the jar with a teaspoon yields more than one teaspoon of honey. Might cut that in half. OTOH, all that sugar has got me wired, so that should help with waking up in the morning.

I guess I will hold off on the Nasalcrom to really test the allergy-prevention benefits. If it works I'll be very pleased, and if it doesn't, I'll have eaten yummy honey every day and can go back to the chemical solutions that sort of work.

This evening, I can pick up 4 stewing hens from Soulfood Farms, source of Wednesday. I hope I can fit them in my freezer. I couldn't pass up the chance at extra flavourful chickens when it came up unexpectedly.

Edited to add: They had eggs, so I got a dozen. yay! Time to feast
