If I do one, I do for Mardi Gras. I'm not sure I'll do one this year. Sometimes I make a little batch of cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with purple, gold and green sanded sugar for a cheat.

@gulfporterI think your picture looks delicious! Caesar salad and pepperoni pizza Broccoli beef and an eggroll Beer brats, fries and homemade sauerkraut (from Vivian Howard's book)

Those gaps are the same as here. Did you happen to peruse the TP/cleaning isles? BIG gaps here still.

My potatoes from Misfit were great. Now I'm nervous--I ordered taters from Imperfect.

What size box are you getting?

I couldn't stand it any longer so I ordered an Imperfect box. Not as simple as Misfits, but that's because there are more categories. I discarded most of the things "they" added to my cart (Ronnie would crap if I bought organic grass fed ground beef lol). It's more expensive than Misfits. I have to order a minimum of $45 worth plus the shipping is $8.99 on top of that. The benefit is being able to order other things besides produce. I didn't see too much different produce wise as compared to Misfits. They didn't have any fresh herbs except a clamshell with thyme and rosemary and basil. Hopefully I can get what I need with my next Misfits. I was impressed with the bread selection . Lots of chicken and beef. Eggs. Anyway, it was fun and I'm looking forward to seeing what I got. The following is my order (all conventional, no organic): Creamer potatoes (not exactly sure what these are) Brussels sprouts Lemons Broccoli Yellow onion Limes Butter lettuce Grape tomatoes Garlic Crimini mushrooms Parm. Cheese wedge (I'm almost out--this is badly needed) Pita bread Pepperoni Salami Roast beef deli meat (mainly to hit the required $45) Also, got a really nice response from Misfits regarding the dreaded kale. They responded on New Years Day which I didn't expect. She said it wasn't a mistake--they subbed it because they were out of lettuce. So *shrug* I will figure out something to do with it.

Hi Kim! Easy as heck and really good. A cup of cream, half a cup of mustard (I used a grainy brown) salt and pepper. Heat in a pan on low.

I wondered the same thing. Mine just happens to renew in January. I don't remember if I got one in December though....

Yes!

Well that sucks. I look forward to that magazine.

Seriously good to know! I worried the whole time I was using it. It worked great but I was scared lol.

WOW! I swear, you get the best stuff! I'm still very much learning the new IP. I need to go back and read our IP thread here and see what people have to say about it. The two new functions on mine are the Sous Vide and Baking ones. I used the SV doing some chicken and it worked great (but I'm confused because it doesn't circulate at all so......I thought that was the whole point to have water circulation).

I just got an email from Amazon saying that my Saveur magazine is no longer available. I did a quick google but I couldn't find anything. Are they stopping their print magazine or is it just an Amazon stoppage?

Roasted a couple of mallard ducks last night. Made a mushroom/red wine/cream sauce, Brussels sprouts and Yukon gold (I'm now convinced that these make the best mashed potatoes ever)mashed to go with.

Yeah, I'm sure either my mom or great grandmother made ours out of one of those patterns. I remember being so cold (always cold in KS for Easter). White fabric with pink rose buds (I think). My mom may tell me I'm delusional lol. And back to food....always a jello salad that looks very similar to a lot of things in these booklets lol.

You should have seen my mom and I in the late 70's for Easter....... I'm loving these....I'm seeing a bunch that I also have but also so many new ones! Thanks all for sharing

One more question about Imperfect Foods and then maybe I'll just shut up and order (or not lol). Do they offer fresh herbs?

Ditto.

Happy New Year! @Ann_TThat is almost too beautiful to eat! @Paul BacinoI've never had shaved truffles before. I will make that happen someday! Your tortellini looks to die for. New Year's Eve we did a little recreation of what we did for our wedding (it was our 21st anniversary). We made fried fish and macaroni and cheese for everyone. So we did that along with some oysters and shishito peppers and of course champagne! I am really hoping these RG beans help the world's luck this new year..... \ For New Year's I've been saving a port wine cheese ball (I think it was @blue_dolphinthat made me hungry for it). I realize I could have made the platter more pretty, but I can't bear to put food on Santa..... Brie with WONDERFUL spicy jalapeño cranberry jelly that my folks gave us Got it melted a bit too much but still delicious Texas Caviar \ We bought a big ham when it was on sale so Ronnie cut that up and I froze it--ham for months you know. To go with, collard greens (Ronnie begged me not to make the kale and it felt unlucky to force it upon him lol), scalloped potatoes, ham steaks with mustard sauce. So that's all the lucky foods I had in the house. I hope the rest of you did your part to make luck happen

I'm not sure who sorts it out.....my boxes ship from Salt Lake City, UT but I'd bet that could be different for others depending on where they live. Here's how mine works: Saturday January 9th at 3 pm central time, I will be able to build my box. I have between then and Jan. 11th to get that done but I've learned to set an alarm and log in at the exact opening time so I can get the most selection. After I build my box I have an amount of time to log back in and change my picks, but they warn that re-choosing might leave you not being able to get the other items that you still want. January 12th they will charge my credit card and set up shipping with Fed Ex. Friday the 15th is when my box should deliver--maybe the day before. I haven't had anything that isn't fresh as me buying from the store (keep in mind that it's winter in Kansas so your milage may vary if you live in a warmer, more produce conducive area). I've been very happy (except for the kale issue). I don't live where anything can be delivered from a store so this is very much a good thing for us.

Wow you got garlic and a mango! I've never had those as a choice. I want to try imperfect too, but I wish I didn't have to sign up and then cancel it over and over.....

Got my box. While I'm so happy they got it to me early, for the first time, they messed up my order. I'm doing this ordering stuff to stay out of the store and I really needed lettuce. We go through a ton of it. I had to go to the liquor store yesterday so I ran in to the tiny store in the nearest town--they only had iceberg --but I grabbed a head. Anyway, lettuce was supposed to come today, instead I got KALE . We are not kale fans.....I'm thinking about replacing the collard greens I had planned on for tomorrow with that (it's still considered a lucky leafy green). Think that would work?

I need to revisit their website. I'm wondering if I can see what they offer without actually placing an order yet. Fedex says they have my Misfits box loaded and it's supposed to be here today. I'm going to be very pleased if that happens. I emailed Misfits last weekend because I realized that my normal delivery day was tomorrow (NewYears Day) and I was concerned because obviously that wasn't going to happen and out here they don't normally deliver anything on the weekends. Their customer service wrote me back promptly and said they would try to make adjustments and they must have been successful. Now I need to go through and organize the fridge lol @TicTac you might be interested in this thread. There is more discussion also on the food in the time of a pandemic thread.

Happy New Year's Eve! Working on eating up veggies that needed to be eaten before I (hopefully) get my Misfits box today. Made a broccoli salad--lightly blanched broccoli with a lemon juice/olive oil/red wine vinegar mix and some onions. Not too bad...needed something though. Maybe a sprinkle of grated parm would have livened it up. Venison meat sauce spaghetti to go with. Reheated the last of the prime rib using sous vide --had that with leftover mashed potatoes and bok choy

@Kim ShookYour holidays always look so warm and perfect!!! Your tree is gorgeous and love your blue wine glasses.
