One question I’ve been asked several times recently is how long we plan on doing our vegetable delivery. Matt and I have discussed this and we decided that we will continue over the winter until we get a delivery that we just feel wasn’t worth the money.

Odds and Ends
As we headed into fall, Matt and I came face to face with one of our dilemmas that we knew was coming. We had no idea how to cook most root vegetables.
