I signed myself and my mother and sister-in-law up for Bountiful Baskets. Our cousin told us about it just about two months ago. It is a Co-Op of people that contribute $15 and get a basket full of fruits and vegetables. This week we got: Bananas, Strawberries, Apples, Blueberries, Kiwis, Radishes, two heads of lettuce, a head of cabbage, celery, an acorn squash, cucumbers, and asparagus. I was excited but Dave is like a kid in a candy store. Fresh fruits and veggies and you would think it was the best thing that ever happened to this family. While I was gone he was looking on the Internet for recipes, nutritional value, and showing the kids how the foods we eat other then fruits and veggies are not so good for us. Anyway, it was great and we are excited to get new stuff every week.
And the other first was Sweet Lizzies. I knew there was a new candy store in town but Dave did not and we were killing time while we had people looking at the house, so we went to the candy shop. I could have lost my mind in there. I have a definite sweet tooth. I wanted some of everything. BUT, being that Dave spent half the morning schooling our children on good foods, we opted for one, one pound bag of chocolate toffee. Which is delicious. But don't tell Dave I plan on going back and getting a bunch of Jelly Bellies and letting the kids pick out a few candies of their own.
