This week I came down with some sort of upper respiratory thing. It started out as a cold, and has slowly moved down to my lungs. I’ve spent all day on my couch trying to get some true R & R and I’m (hopefully) on the mend, just in time for one more football game…which is forecasted to be very cold and wet…

…such is the life of a secondary band director in Michigan!

This week’s box had a few surprised that I was excited to receive, especially with the rapid change in the weather:

As usual, Bandit is helping me unload the bounty!

• Dinosaur kale
• Red Russian Kale
• lots of sweet peppers!
• more bell papers
• eggplant
• tomatoes, still! 🙂
• 2 winter squash
• lettuce
• a small celery

The bell peppers were chopped & frozen for soups & crock pot meals this winter (as well as when Mike wants any green peppers for pizza/egg dishes). The tomatoes made another batch of tomato puree for my freezer since I used up two batches already in making sauce for our murder mystery dinner. The celery, eggplant, and red kale went into three separate dinners this week.

Provided I’m feeling better tomorrow, I’ve got a game plan for all the sweet peppers that are taking up major real estate in my refrigerator – have I ever mentioned that I want a new refrigerator? 😉
