My misfits box arrived today, the first time it's been on time. Usual nice quality.

Everyone takes a bath
And the current state of play: beet, steamed, cooked, diced, now in pickling liquid in the fridge. Bags of leek greens, leek whites, quartered cabbage, quartered onion, in the freezer. Bowl of carrots, peeled, diced in fridge ready for carrot cashew soup. Granny smith apples waiting to go in a crumble tomorrow with peaches and plums. Frisee and grape tomatoes ready to be a salad tonight.
Now I need to see what cabbage can do aside from coleslaw which I don't like. I think caraway seeds go with it. I tasted it, very tender and sweet.
Woman cannot live by veggies alone. She needs books. So I've listed the books recommended lately for your saving and reading pleasure. Some are from emails from readers who don't comment in here, so I thought I'd share.
Becoming, Michelle Obama
Little fires everywhere, Celeste Ng
Caste, Isabel Wilkerson
The Color of Law, Rothstein
How to be an Anti-Racist, Ibrahim X. Kendi
The salt Path, Raynor Winn
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Lisa See
A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles
I have read and loved Snow Flower, and have Salt Path requested. Have I missed any recommended in here?
On the subject of books and great opportunities on Kindle, since I like plenty of emergency reading on Kindle in case of WiFi outage, I got a great deal: the whole canon of EFBenson for 99cents. And a collection of Agatha christie including a couple I haven't read, amazingly, for I think $2.99.
So Amazon's good for something. And nobody has to run about loading and delivering. It's already on my Kindle, which is the original model, from when there was only the one. People sometimes ask which Kindle! It's like asking what color Model T Ford.
Anytime you want to share a pic of your Misfit produce, I will enjoy seeing it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you. I was in two minds, not wanting to get repetitious, but maybe it's okay.
DeleteYour misfit produce would fit nicely in my world. And refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy "The Salt Path."
I'm looking forward to whenever it gets here. Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteYour Misfits box looks good. Looks like a lot though.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically three meals a day for two weeks. At this point it's about right. But if I have to reduce the number of deliveries I can.
DeleteNice box of veggies.
ReplyDeleteDitto on appreciating the photos of the Misfits. Congratulations on an extremely productive day, with all that prepping. We love chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped apple, all tossed with a little orange juice, with raisins and nuts. And maybe some yogurt and anise...
ReplyDeleteOne note on the book list (which, thank you for): apparently A Gentleman in Moscow is far better by audio than in print. Judging by responses to my initial comment. :-)
Cheers,
Chris from Boise
Thanks for the cabbage idea. Noted.
DeleteI like seeing the great misfits you get so please continue to share.
ReplyDeleteRe the book list - the only one I've read is 'Becoming' - loved it. I recently read 'Letters to Obama' and found it fascinating.
