Boston Organics delivery

I switched to getting a larger box, still 67% veggies, every other week.

• a bag of three baby bok choy (biggish for babies, more like toddler size :-)
  
• two bunches of collards
  
• a pint of cherry tomatoes
  
• a head of red leaf lettuce
  
• two stalks of broccoli
  
• four bananas
  
• a three-pound bag of onions (eight medium)
  
• a small bag of sunchokes (a pound? a pound and a half?)
  
• a grapefruit
  
• three pink lady apples
  
• four navel oranges
  
• a mango
  
• a green pepper (Treacle_Well, I can bring it to work tomorrow if you'd like it)

I think the oranges mean there's cranberry relish in my future :-). Not sure yet about anything else.

Oh, and there was an interesting note in this week's newsletter. Most produce has a four-digit number identifier, but organic produce has five-digit numbers that begin with 9. Produce with a five-digit number beginning with 8 means it's genetically modified.

Yes, I'll relieve you of the pepper.

Er . . . that's very interesting. Good to know.
