Local & Seasonal…

HPIM5353

I recently ordered produce from The Veggie Wagon, a local, family run business that delivers fresh, local, and seasonal produce straight to your door on a weekly basis. I was actually quite impressed with the price too. Hopefully such a good idea will not catch on too quickly and the price will stay nice and reasonable.
As you can see from the spread (I took this picture on our kitchen table) we’ve gotten a colorful and lovely selection that includes squash, green beans, peaches, apples, green peppers, pears and tomatoes. We even have a few items that I have NO IDEA what to do with, like muscadine grapes and eggplant. And even okra! I don’t believe I’ve ever had okra in my entire life, let alone ever cooked it.
But thanks to the wonder of the Internet, there are millions of recipes at my fingertips. Tomorrow we will tried baked eggplant, and later this week a tomato/okra stew. I’ll let you know how it goes :)
