Order for Tuesday, December 18th

To all hosts, members and guests,

Enjoy the bounty of the season as we have lots of local items.  Apple prices are dropping and we should be seeing them more regularly.  Florida citrus is also in full swing so we will have a good variety coming for the next few months.  (Please note there may be substitutions due to pricing and availability, but the following list is what I am looking to get for us this Tuesday.)

We ask that you communicate with your host to see when our next delivery will be.  We will not have a delivery New Years day.  Our options are either Thursday, Jan. 3^rd or Tuesday, Jan. 15^th.  (Hosts let me know what your members want and if Thursday the 3^rd is an option for you.) 

We hope that you will enjoy the holiday season with family and friends.  Merry Christmas and Happy Year! 

God bless,

Cyndi and Martha

Order for Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Happy December!  Can't believe this year is already drawing to a close!  We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Christmas and New Year's. The holidays are falling on our delivery days, but since we cannot change the week cycle we're on with Global, we will either have to skip the first week of January altogether or else have delivery on Thursday, Jan 3.  Please give your host feedback about a Thursday delivery. 

 Rutabaga is a great root vegetable that can be eaten raw, grated on a salad, or cooked.  I love it in soup, but it can also be boiled and mashed up with potato to give your mashed potatoes more nutritional value. Boil it up on it's own and experiment, or go to this link and find something to make your mouth water:  http://allrecipes.com/recipes/everyday-cooking/seasonal/winter/rutabaga/Newest.aspx   Also, here is an absolutely yummy, yet easy salad recipe for using your watercress.  Just wait for an avocado to ripen up and you can dish up a gourmet salad for your family:  

Avocado and Watercress Salad

1/4 rice vinegar (I've used other vinegar in a pinch)

1 Tb grated sweet onion (or regular) using large holes of box grater

1/4 finely grated peeled Gala apple (small holes of grater)

1 tsp sugar

4 tsp soy sauce

3 Tb veg oil (I use olive oil)

6 c watercress, thin stems and leaves only

1 firm ripe avocado

Sitr together first 5 ingred. until sugar is dissolved then stir in oil.  Toss with watercress just before serving.  Quarter and peel avocado.  Cut crosswise into 1/4" thick slices and gently toss in.

Dear Members,

Our local season is beginning to kick off!  Lots of our items this time come from local and regional farms.  I hope you enjoyed the sunburst squash from last time because we are getting them again.  Try scooping out, mashing with parmesan and favorite herbs, and roasting them in the shell.  You can also add chopped cooked bacon and diced tomato.  Delicious!  There were no bananas available this time so we have added pineapple to the regular share.  Enjoy!

Ask your host today if you are interested in purchasing an extra share as a gift for a family member or neighbor.  We have a few available.  If you are interested and your host does not have an extra available, call me directly so I can arrange to get it to you.  786-251-1000.

Martha and I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!

God bless,

Cyndi
