Tell me again (if you already have) what size box is this?

Ohhhh man. I'm so sorry! And, like you said, the sauce . I hate wearing shoes. HATE wearing shoes. My UPS man commented the other day when it was freezing outside that I had no shoes on lol..... Maybe I should rethink that choice when cooking.

Don't feel alone, Heidi. I'm not great about washing either. I even have a salad spinner , which I strangely use on our home grown greens religiously, but not store bought. We aren't dead yet so that's a plus. The lettuce I'm getting from Misfits and Imperfect I rinse, though...I guess I feel like more hands have touched it??? I dunno.

That is where I got the best pears I've ever had.

Really good pears are really good. Medium good pears suck. It's hard to find really good pears around here.

Just jumping off your post. I looked up how much each size box is supposed to weigh so I'll post it here so we all know. Imperfect Foods Boxes Small-feeds 2-4 people-7 to 9 pounds of food Medium-feeds 4 to 6 people-11 to 14 pounds of food Large-feeds 6 to 8 people-17 to 19 pounds of food Extra Large-feeds 8 to 10 people-23 to 25 pounds of food

Chicken taco salads Roasted doves With a Greek-ish salad--dressing was fresh lemon juice/olive oil/Italian herb mix/salt/pepper Roasted baby potatoes and parsnips --mixed in some Herbdacious from Vivian Howard's book

Imperfect Foods yesterday. Everything fresh. I ordered a pound of potatoes and got one (was thinking I'd get at least two). I weighed it--it is half a pound lol. Salmon looks good. Haven't opened a pack yet. I had forgotten that I ordered bok choy from them too, so we don't have to split the one I got from Misfits lol.

YUM!! Will you guys eat them all or do they freeze well? On the feta, 100%....you think no salt is needed but in salads etc. it is IMO. But I have to say we are salt people.....

I feel you on the wind. For two days we had gusts of 60-70. Blew our grill over. It's calmed down today and I'm glad. You're smart to deal with your greens like that. I have a ton and I have just shoved them in the fridge --I'd save much more room and frustration if I was more like you.

I have used it --I got one for Christmas. The first thing I did with it was sous vide some chicken breasts. Worked like a charm. I was kind of worried because there is no circulation but I was assured on another thread that it was fine without that.

Got my Misfits box--second week in a row that it's a day early which is great with me. Here's a picture of the liner that they use. No ice pack was included--but one wasn't needed because it's cold here. Every thing is fresh a nice except one russet potato has a bad spot. No big deal. The parsnips are much bigger than Imperfect sent....which is good because I really like them. I said I was canceling my Imperfect delivery this week because of Misfits coming ...and I did, but then I changed my mind and unskipped. What the heck..it's a pandemic so why not lol. Looking forward to it coming tomorrow. I ordered some salmon and I'm hungry for it. Edited to add, not sure why the one bok choy is included. I didn't order it and I can't see that I didn't get something that I did order...so I guess it's a bonus lol. Edited again...I DID order it but stupidly only ordered one sigh. Oh well.

Ronnie's birthday was yesterday so this whole week he's been picking the meals that he wants. Last night was steaks on the grill and baked potatoes with broccoli cheese sauce. He asked for a chocolate sheet cake with some of the pecans that were gifted to us for his birthday cake.

Lasagna last night. Made ricotta in the IP (Ronnie hates ricotta, but loves homemade....maybe because I call it "cottage cheese 😁).

I was going to say the exact same thing. The idea came to me in the middle of the night (yes, I was thinking about you guys @CantCookStillTry--I hope that's not too creepy 🤣)

What is his "hut"? I'm sooooo interested in this. Thanks so much for taking time.

I've done oysters Rockefeller in the oven using a muffin tin.

Pork roast done using the slow cooker function on my new IP. Cabbage/apple/pecan salad. This is not something I would normally make, but I'm changing that now. We really liked it. Simple dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Still really good this morning--I'm eating some now.

I'm excited for this! I, too, am curious about what kind of mining. I'm sorry he has to be gone so much but it sounds like he's a hard worker for sure. Does he get to come home on weekends? Like others said, the food looks really good. How many workers are the food preparers cooking for? I wonder if they reuse the containers? Do they meet in a large hall for evening meals?

I LOVE monkfish. Time and temp in the SV? I was hungry for beets--Ronnie detests them. More for me. Shishitos and big sandwiches to go with.

Our hunter friend has a good friend that out of the blue, not even knowing us except for what our friend has told him, sent us his homemade BBQ sauce and pecans picked from his own pecan trees. The sauce is excellent--vinegar based. And I've never ever tasted a better pecan.

What's in the plastic container?

LGD and Herbdacious have become condiments like ketchup and mustard for us. I put herbdacious on parsnips and carrots last night. Really good.

You can mask a lot with bacon and cheese 🙃

It is. Bacon, red onion, broccoli, cheddar and a dressing of mayo/sugar/red wine vinegar/black pepper.
