@liamsaunt, those Maine marfax beans are delicious. I actually have some soaking now -- I order them from Baer's Best, a delightful Maine farmer who grows several New England heirlooms beans. It was funny to come across your picture!
Thanks for the information. I already traded them to my Mom for some other stuff, but I will keep in mind for future shipments. I am sorry for your losses.
Here is this week's share. As you can see, I got TWO kinds of beans this week! They are black beans and bumblebee beans. I can work with those. This week's share contains the last of the overwintered carrots, plus many freshly dug parsnips. I see parsnip puree in my future. They also gave me 16 potatoes and another huge sweet potato! I still have eight potatoes and two sweet potatoes left from last week's box! Luckily, I texted my brother and he really wants the potatoes for his house with my parents. He is taking them all in exchange for, well, I am not sure what yet. He'll come up with something that I want. Other stuff included pea shoots, bread, strawberry jam, and jerusalem artichokes.
My Whole Foods order got shopped a day early and arrived last night around 8PM. They made meat substitutions without checking with me, which was a little odd. Ground chicken breast was swapped in for ground dark turkey meat, and chicken tenders were swapped in for chicken breast. Oh well, they tried and I will use everything I am sure. No milk, toilet paper, paper towels, mozzarella cheese, or popcorn. I got everything else I asked for including eggs, bacon, corn tortillas, and a flank steak for tacos on Sunday.
My Wegmans order is supposed to arrive today between 11-1, but I am guessing it will arrive much later than that. My Mom had an order that was supposed to come yesterday between 9-11AM, and it arrived at 5:30 PM.
