Veg box

As usual we began the new year with resolutions to be more healthy. I got as far as buying a book on nutrition, but Ian did something far more sensible by signing us up to receive weekly vegetable boxes from a local grower. The seller forgot to email us to let us know when / where to pick up the first box so we were lucky enough to get this one for free.

Although it had been sitting under a hedge for a couple of days the only damage done was the addition of 22 slugs that Ian kindly removed before I photographed the box.

Never seen a parsnip look like that before and it will be our first acorn squash. I fancy trying a recipe on the web for acorn squash with apricot preserve. Will blog it if it's any good.
