Veggie and Fruit Co-OP

-
So my new adventure in cooking is joining a veggie and fruit co-op! We got our first package yesterday and it was like christmas time for me all over!! I am splitting it with my friend in the neighborhood and this is what we EACH got...2 fresh tomatoes, head of lettuce, leek, spaghetti squash, kiwi, bag of oranges, bag of potatoes, 4 apples each, broccoli we split, 12 bananas we split, something i don't know what it is...and i think thats it :)

I ate a FRESH salad last night, made one for today, looked up recipes on the spaghetti squash and leeks. The freshness of them is amazing! The kiwi is, as andrew said, PERFECT! I am excited to cook and develop my cooking skills :) It is so nice knowing that you are paying $25 for fresh straight from the farm veggies and fruits! Its almost as exciting as if i grew them! haha

If you have any great recipes for the things mentioned please share :)

The spaghetti squash makes great spaghetti noodles. Just cook it and the inside shreds just like noodles. Add some sauce to the top and meat or whatever you put on your spaghetti and its delicious.

Wow! I have never heard of a fruit and veggie co-op. What exactly do you have to do? $25 for all of that sounds like a great deal to me. You probably remember me saying at Christmas that Guthry eats very few veggies and NO fruits, so a fruit and veggie co-op would probably be his worst nightmare!

What's a leek? That sounds like an insect. I've never heard of a fruit or veggie called a leek. I'm going to google that one.

Spooky things afoot

The other night we heard a knock on the door...upon my answering there was no one there...just a plastic pumpkin filled with goodies and two pieces of paper. It said we had been "Booed". Something spooky was going on in our neighborhood and if we didn't want to get it again we were to tape the other picture to our door.    Since i couldn't find tape i used post-it notes...sad i know. haha There was a poem that came with it explaining how you are to make two more buckets/baskets, copy the two papers and pass it on by ding dong ditching them! I asked my neighbor and friend Kati to go with me cause Kimmel was at the football game. It was very exciting and crazy...i had never ding dong ditched...at least that i remember and i think i would remember something that fun! :) If you live in a neighborhood this is a great way to spread fun and get to know each other. I wish i kept a copy of the poem...but i am sure you can make something up that would be perfect! Happy sp...

What's Next?

This week is the first week of a new schedule for me. I am cutting my 'hours' in half at work. This means i go from the 40 hours a week to 20 in office hours. I am excited to see what God has next for me. As most of you know ministry isn't in an office, but the office time was suffocating me. So now there is freedom, freedom to do what i am not sure just yet. I have mentioned before Andrew and i's desire to minister to our lil townhouse circle, so i am praying for vision and opportunity there. Being domestic and a untired, focused wife to Andrew is another desire of mine. Don't have much to say just yet...i am excited on this new adventure. I will keep you posted as God shows me what the path his he has for us Kimmels :) He is a good God and i am glad He loves me! It is for freedom he set us free. It is for freedom i cut my pay in half :) hahaha

Since my sister's wedding when i was in 10th grade i have been in a total 13 weddings, none my own. At one point mom told me i needed to stop saying yes! I actually used two of the dresses twice believe it or not! :) It was a privilege to have girls in my wedding knowing that they trusted and loved me long time ago to be in their wedding and were willing and happy to come be in mine. This fall i have the honor of being in my best friend since 1st grades wedding-Amber, and Andrew's best friend's Kyle- we are both in that one! It is exciting to watch the stories unfold and share in their special day. I was at a shower for Maddie and Kyle's wedding this past weekend and i snapped a picture of this lil centerpiece the hostess had made. I thought it was really sweet and i had to share! One of the annoying thing about 'cute' couples is when they giggle. But its only annoying when you aren't that couple, minus public displace of giggling and such i find that aw...
