brochures from the first 4 packages
You can get subscription deals on all kinds of products lately, and my holiday present last year from the consultancy I work with is a one-year subscription to a gourmet food package called Farm to People.
----
The pictures don’t show any one package, they show everything I still have on the shelf from the first 4.
So far they have tended to not contain things that are actually going to be for dinner; the pasta and pesto were the sole exception.

the only meal
Generally the selections fall in three categories: sweets, snacks, and condiments. The sweets have all been eaten and were all wonderful. The snacks are nearly all gone and some were better than others. The pictures therefore show mostly the condiments and “other”, some of them opened. The peach preserves are great. That little tiny jar of peanut butter will be what, two sandwiches?
Someone actually made a scotch bonnet pepper sauce that is only “medium” hot and I can eat it, plenty of flavor not just heat. I’m not sure what I’ll find to do with lime leaf sambal. I am pretty sure what I’ll do with “fake coffee” and it doesn’t involve consumption, but that’s the only complete fail.

time for the meatstick
You know I love songs about food; here’s a meatstick, and here’s the meatstick song. |
I didn’t come up with a recipe to put here. Sorry.
The last couple weeks have included planning and working on what will be for dinner, that is, planting the garden. I have 5 pepper plants, 2 beans, 3 squash, 7 tomatoes, arugula, swiss chard, and of course various herbs.
I might have enough other ideas to not give you an artichoke diary this year, but the artichoke plant is as big and happy as ever. I didn’t think there were even any buds yet, then took a close look and saw two full-grown chokes.
Since it’s 4/20, I can’t resist throwing in my favorite gardening song (and I’m planting some of that too).

Dinner plan here is still uncertain, probably leftover smoked chicken from yesterday.
What’s for dinner at your place? Please consider writing it up for WFD! Message ninkasi23 about that.
