And the humble potato is hammering that final nail in your coffin.

Nothing says I love you like a Happy Anniversary potato.
Please pass the butter.

Oh, you versatile spud.

End of the (veggie) line.

Our final CSA harvest from the farm across the street was picked up yesterday.
.
.
Peppers, turnip, tomatillos, parsley, basil, leeks, fennel, radishes, carrots…

A fabulous watermelon I wish we’d seen more of this past summer…
And this:

A beautiful thing I had to look up.

I’d never heard of it. And after sampling a little? I was glad. Mountain meadow my *ss.
Blech! Shiso was a great big no no.
But apparently it’s very popular in Japan where they use it in sushi and drink it as tea.

Can’t say the pesto looks very appetizing.
.
.
Or whatever the heck that is. If I didn’t know better I’d say marinated dog poo on rice.
Well, to each their own. But take my word for it, it is popular.

I have no idea what that says, but yeah. I’m still going to pass.

CSA and grocery store horrors.
.
Another veggie bonanza.
.
.
Tomatoes, beets, leek, basil, carrots, parsley, squash, radish, chickory, spinach, Korean melon and yes… the dreaded kale.
It’s lovely having fresh organic veggies right out of the ground and buying less at the grocery store’s produce section.

Tastes like an artichoke. Then why not buy an artichoke? I’m so tired of wannabe food.
Be what you are…. and be happy!

No.
Burgers are not made from plants! Not in my world anyway. But did you notice the oh so cleverly named Incogmeato only has 32% less fat than the real thing? Where’s the other 68% come from… lard coated arugula?
I’ll pass.

Right Rice made from vegetables is wrong.
So wrong in fact, check out the bottom left corner of the package. It’s made from chickpeas, peas and.. rice.
Rice made from rice.
What a novel idea.
And then, because I live and shop in Maine? This was also available for purchase:

A map of mooses.
(Meese?)
Big goofy looking things with horns, often seen in the company of a squirrel.
You can’t miss them.

CSA and more rude produce.
This week’s CSA bounty was full.
With onions, fairy tale eggplants, celery, garlic, basil, rainbow chard, tomatoes, carrots, and salad mix.
But did you see it?
There, on the right hand side…
A slightly wrong tomato.
It’s either flipping me off…
Or sticking out it’s tongue.
Either way?
It’s rude produce, and that’s just wrong.
Is it me?
Or is this pepper puckering up for a kiss?
Fresh produce is one thing.
But fresh produce?
That’s a bridge too far.
