On Saturday morning while Kent and Justin were at the scout camp out I went to volunteer at co-op. I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so I was actually there by 7:15 a.m. The good part about helping out is first, you get to give service, and second, you get some of the leftovers. Yay!
This time I ordered the Mexican food pack. It didn't come with tomatoes for some reason, but there are enough things in here to make a good salsa verde. I've never made that so I'm curious to see how it turns out.
Natalie really wanted to have me take her picture with the co-op food this time. I have no idea why. I asked her, and she doesn't know either. LOL! (That's from Trevor.)
Here's the food from the regular conventional basket... cucumbers, romaine lettuce, apples, tomatoes, mangoes, cantaloupe (I got an extra one!), pineapple, nectarines, onions, corn on the cob, red potatoes and celery (an extra from the organic side). A pretty good array that typically lasts us the week. The corn was extra wet so we had to use it right away. It tasted fine, but wouldn't have lasted long.
From today Natalie let me do her hair because she was going to the Seare's house. Their girls' hair is always done so cute that I convinced her to let me do hers before she left. Thank goodness for small miracles!
Last night around 11:30 I was gathering my supplies to make strawberry freezer jam. I quickly realized that all my pectin had expired. I couldn't proceed until I had it so Justin and I made a quick trip to WalMart. While we were there we found this shirt for $1. I took a gamble that Drew would like it, and I was right. So cool!

You go girl! I love the co-op! The only one they have here, you buy shares in and get produce during the productive months - it's nice you don't have to work, but having to come up with $400+ (I think that's how much it was, I should probably check it again) all at once is kind of hard. I'm trying to set aside a little bit each month so we can buy in next year.
