We signed up for a local CSA program that delivers a box of produce regularly. We hadn't done it before, mostly because the boxes from various area CSAs were either enormous, or seemed to be filled with mostly kale, broccoli, and squash.

This one offered the option of every other week delivery, you can give it a list of, I think, 7 fruits or vegetables you don't ever want, and you can log in a few days before the box is delivered and curate your box a bit, taking out stuff you don't want, and for a price, adding some other things they sell like locally raised meats. And it doesn't commit us to a year- or season-long contract.

I admit, some weeks our dislike of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage and squash may mean we're stuck with a box full of onions or some such, but we'll live.

We need to eat more vegetables anyway. :)

Yay fresh veggies!

Yup! Working from home makes it easier to cook stuff, too. No idea what'll happen when things get more-or-less back to normal.

I am currently RAVENOUS ALL THE TIME because I'm so used to getting stupid amounts of calories from restaurant food that is probably not actually good for me. XD

My family is dreading when I break out the cornmeal and start making grits. Not even cheesy grits, because I think we ran out of cheese. Just grits. XD

Our cooking at home more has resulted in both of us getting far more fiber than we're used to with, er, expected results because our systems aren't adjusted yet. XD

(Lunch was peanut butter and apricot preserves on that sourdough-like beer bread and it was DELISH. And almost no fiber, yay!)

I love grits!

I grew up calling it mamaliga and eating it with farmer cheese and sour cream (cottage cheese or ricotta works too, or just butter).

I had a roommate from South Carolina during my semester in Wales in undergrad. Her homesickness pretty much manifested in asking everyone if they like grits, if they'd ever tried grits. XD
