Vegetable Triptych

On Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market (the vegetable box is on its summer vacation) and bought some vegetables.







Overnight the little veggie fairies did their magic...







So on Sunday we could hammer the tomatoes, eggplant and squash on the wall.



Over our dining table.

The Christmas Box:



Fruit: pineapple, apples, clementines, oranges

Vegetables: cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, corn salad, cucumber, onions, red X-mas bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, Hokkaido pumpkin, avocado, parsley root

This is the last delivery of the fruit & vegetable box for 2011. And this will also be the last photographed and posted box. Not posted anymore, but still be eaten, for sure. This year we were convinced by the benefits of fresh, organic and mostly local produce - this baby of ours was born with the words fresh & organic written all over her body.

From 2012 I will be making new space on Saturdays.

Wishing you a yummy & peaceful Christmas season!
