April 30th is Walpurgis Night
What ? You Never Heard of It ? Then Read On....
Ancient legends say that Walpurgis night was the last wintery night for witches and their minions to make trouble and pull pranks, before the start of Spring. It is said that the evil creatures would gather on Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains in central Germany, to celebrate.
It is said that Walpurgis was the one night of the year when evil magic was strongest and the line between the real world and the underworld was at it's weakest. This allowed the witches and their minions to cast spells and play tricks on humans much more easily and that is why they are always out looking on Walpurgis night for humans gullible enough to fall for their tricks.  So sorry to be so late with this week's review, but I have been so sick, I just could not concentrate. On Monday, I received my food delivery around 1:45. The food inside all looked good, as usual, but the leek.......OMG, the leek was HUGE!
And the Recipe I am Making for Dinner  Today's delivery arrived at 2:15pm. When I opened the box, I almost felt like it was Christmas. Everything looked so good, like it was fresh picked.
The kale was a beautiful green with nice shiny leaves, the red pepper was beautifully sectioned. The green onions, cucumber and radishes looked like they had just been pulled as did the potatoes. YUM! The only bad thing was the totally green bananas. It will be a while before they will ripen enough to eat, however, they were nice looking otherwise. Give Your Deceased Loved One New Life, as a Tree  Image Credit: http://tinyurl.com/q2k7ue9 Up until now, your choices for what happened to your physical remains after death were limited to two choices: buried in the ground or cremated. If you choose traditional burial in the ground, this involves the process of embalming you by filling your body with toxic chemicals, then they put you in a sealed coffin, and finally pour a concrete vault to place your coffin in which is also sealed. This is a highly expensive option, and not very friendly to the earth.
Changed a Few Things  I really wanted some mushrooms and some cauliflower, but neither was a choice this week. I was kinda disappointed, however they did have sweet potatoes, which I really love. I have never had organic sweet potatoes before, so I look forward to trying them. I ordered another pound of carrots because the ones I got last week were absolutely delicious! My husband and I were fighting over them! I have a feeling they are going to be a regular. I have to put avocado on my no no list, since they seem determined to give me one. UGH! What happened to the avocado shortage I read about earlier this month?? This scoop on how this box turned out and the stuff in it, on Monday..... Have a Great Weekend, Jade :)  This Is What Was On It, and What I Changed
 My first delivery arrived about 2:30 pm. It was delivered by a clean cut, very pleasant man who rang the bell, handed me the package and wished me a good day. He was driving a clean, black mini van, with no company markings on it.
The box was brand new and had the inventory list taped to the top. When I opened it up, the site that greeted me was what you see above. No item was wrapped other than the mushrooms. The food was attractive and in good shape, though I was a bit disappointed with the red potatoes. They could have been nicer and I had expected more than five. The broccoli was also a bit uneven in color, but looked healthy. |
