it said all that stuff about weather being warmer, soon more local stuff, see how stuff fared despite rainy weather. do you want the recipes? maybe I can scan it and email it to you.

Thanks. Sounds like the usual... and while it's pleasant to cast an eye over the recipes, I haven't cooked one of them yet, so not worth your time. (If I can't figure out what to do with stuff, luckily I have an Internet connection :-)

Right now, I'm thinking salad with pink grapefruit and a grapefruit-mustard dressing, and steamed broccoli sauteed with garlic and ginger and fresh turmeric (just because I succumbed to the novelty of fresh turmeric).

Wow, fresh tumeric!

It's at the Harvest Co-op, in Central Square, Cambridge, if you're Boston local.

Oh, please, please, please, let there be spinach and eggplant in my delivery. And if there must be zucchini or broccoli let it be one or the other but not both.

That of course, is a prayer to the nonexistent produce delivery god(esses), and not a plea to you, magid.

I am beginning to suspect that the lack of variety from week to week is because I have a half-half small delivery. It would be nice if they had a way (there must be software that could do this) to work it so that people who are getting less variety in a week because of the "1/2 small" thing, would at least get more variety over the course of a few deliveries.

I noticed when I had a smaller box there was less variety, too. I'd think there should be some way of making sure each week there's at least something new, without having to change one's do-not-send profile every time. (I've done that, though; if it's really getting to you, might be worth trying.)

(And if you get both zucchini and broccoli, I'd trade you the spinach for the zukes; for some reason I'm using them up fairly promptly.)
