My first birthday present (well, aside from the awesome boots that came from Reno) arrived at the house yesterday: a subscription to Pioneer Organics! I’m So Excited. Vegetables! It will come every two weeks. This week the box had lettuce, kale (to be white bean and kale soup), delicious-looking carrots with the tops still on, pears (for Wisconsin blue cheese and pear something — pizza?), bananas, pluots, green beans, two pretty red onions, five ripe roma tomatoes, a big juicy mango, two ears of corn, some grapes, and a huge bunch of celery (which will become snacks and possibly also oyster stew). I’m so excited I’m wiggling. I’m also a huge dork. Vegetables!
