Vegetable box

Day 6/100

Today has started well so far.  Marmite sandwiches for breakfast (which was actually at breakfast time, shock horror!!!!) and I am about to make some pasta and pasta sauce with some of the leftover tomatoes etc that we have in the fridge.  And dinner tonight is going to be a meatball concoction with some pork mince I got out of the freezer, but (as I am very fussy over mince)  I have got some smoked haddock out of the freezer which I plan to have with salad and some brown bread and butter.  Yum!

Most weeks we get a vegetable box from the 5 a day people.  It costs us £24 something or other, and it really does have enough fruit and vegetables for the week, with some leftover.  I have done abel and cole, and a couple of others, but I always cost too much and I had to supplement it throughout the week, which kind of defeats the purpose of it.  I have an allotment, which I love, but we are getting to the time of the year where not much comes off it, and I get so bored with the same carrots, broccoli  and potatoes from Tesco!!  I know Aldi is cheaper, but this is nicer and I like to think that more of the money I am paying goes back to the farmer, because growing vegetables can be bloody hard work.  So we are waiting in today for our box, and I am like a little kid with a surprise bag!!!  Hopefully lots and lots of delicious vegetables for the week ahead.  But no more avocado.  Last week I had 3 avocado, and nobody at our house eats it.  I made a face mask and a hair mask out of it, which was nice, but I am still cleaning the bathroom.  Please no more avocado.
