So my girlfriend and I have been doing this Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) thing all summer. You pay a lump sum of money at the beginning of the season – around June – and you get a shipment from a local farm every week with brand new veggies and fruits and awesome stuff. The shipment changes slightly every week and everything is in season.
Sometimes we still have to buy produce from the grocery store, but we did the math and it's actually been saving us money. Here is a picture of a shipment from a few weeks ago.
We make tons of good food with this food. Like tacos:
Assorted fruits and vegetables plates:
And many many salads:
Let’s talk about what makes our mouths water.

The CSA program you guys are doing looks really fantastic. The things that can be made with all that produce...
today I made a huge apple pie from our shipment, which had like twelve mcintosh apples
it's a really great deal
and i can be all smug and shit because it's green and my carbon footprint is like a newborn baby.

so delicious
i am not familiar with pepper-lore
I think I know what you're talking about:

too bad i was raised to have the worst sense of deliciousness ever and would probably hate almost anything made from it
im trying though!
how much do you pay for this
Varies from farm to farm and what kind of package you get. There are usually half shares and full shares. a Half would easily be enough for one person. We decided to do a full share because my girlfriend loves to cook and eat healthy. Plus we eat a whooooole lot of produce, even before we did the CSA, so it really made sense for us. We paid $500 up front for 19 weeks straight of one shipment a week.
That comes out to roughly $25 a week. You can get cheaper depending on the farm, half shares are obviously much more inexpensive.
so basically anywhere from $200-600, depending on what you do.

the green peppers in the first photo are jalapeno i believe. those are kinda spicy.

only real problem is that the money is paid up front and if there is a flood or drought, you can kinda get shafted. but it also supports local agriculture and all that other hippy stuff.

my vegetable intake consists of the vegetables in frozen pot pies
two for a dollar
Snake meat? Sure.
Horse? Why not.
Dog? Was it ugly?
We dont cook as much as we should around the house. A shame because my mother is a good cook when she really puts her mind to it. As for me? My heart has its sights set upon cuisine but my hands betray me. That said, I can whip up some excellent crepes and I make a mean soup. I cant tell my mother but when it comes to soup anything she creates pales in comparison to what I make.
The secret is stock. Lots and lots of stock. And don't underestimate the importance of herbs and spices. Traditional mexican families have a habit of creating bland broths on the assumption you will assault it with salt, lemon and chile or hotsauce of some sort upon arrival.
Rane, shut up.
I like vegetables fine
I LOVE vegetables
there is no veggie I will not eat, even when I was a kid
I devoured vegetables as a kid
I just don;t give a shit about johnny corncob and his farm
and I can't afford vegetables
Shit. This, THIS.
Delicious but damn it it isn't a pain to make. It is something to cook on special occasions and chances are I will never cook this in my adult life. You have to roast the peppers and burn the top layer of skin. Then you have to peel the top burnt layer off. You cant wash them under water because it strips the peppers of the flavors, and when you have several to peel for the family it can easily eat up 30-40 minutes. Is isn't that easy because it sticks to you skin.
No fun.
I can't hear poor people.

good thing I'm not speaking
typetypetypetypetypetypetypetypetype
ones that come to mind are artichokes and mushrooms
and man I even like brussel sprouts
NO 6 YEAR OLD LIKED BRUSSEL SPROUTS IT WAS MADNESS
Foiled by reality again.
Mushrooms? They are spectacular but they are nice and mild.
Okay, eat shit and die.
Liking brussel sprouts and hating mushrooms doesn't make you edgy, it just means you're a Nazi-hating white supremacist.
I don't even know what they taste like the texture just don't agree with my mouth
I will try harder I'm sorry
You should get married to Sheri.
Texture can vary greatly. I'm assuming your exposure has mainly been to portobellos.
The first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem.
We have programs.
and why is this

She holds the same view on mushrooms.
Clearly your only recourse is to mate.
