Bebesols

That's how I said vegetables when I was a kid. I know, can you stand how cute I was?

I decided to buy a farm share this summer. I did it for a couple of reasons. One, because it's just GOOD to get fresh vegetables when you (I) can. Fresh vegetables do taste SO much better (are you enjoying my liberal use of CAPS?)than store-bought vegetables that are probably shipped in from California and Texas. So not only will I be eating fresher, I'll be doing my part to cut down on putting extra carbon into the environment.

The share is coming from Heaven's Harvest Farm, which, given its exchange must be somewhere in the middle of the state ( I have no idea, where is New Braintree? It must not be near Braintree). Oh yes look at that, it's almost in Western, MA. Well, thank you farmers in New Braintree for bringing my vegetables out here for the next 15 weeks!

It's a single share so I'm not sure how much that will really be, but I will surely update when it starts coming in. I'm a little concerned because a lot of the recipes on the website include kale and I have never eaten kale and quite honestly, it is not something that sounds that appealing to me. Remember, I am urban. I eat cheeseburgers.

In other food news, I had a coupon for a free kashi frozen meal and I would just like to pass on the YUM factor. This is not one of those products I am marketing for BzzAgent. It was really good. I am however Bzzing Bic soleil razors which I have to say are also very good. In a non gastronomical way of course.

Oh look. The Dorchester fireworks have started for the summer. JOY. Let's hope it's fireworks. Things in town have not been so safe lately.

I think the farm share idea is fantastic! I also bought a farm share this summer and am super excited to start getting the veggies!
