Disappointing Tomatoes

Posted on by

what's that fuzz on the tomato? Eww yuck!

This weeks basket doesn’t seem as fresh as last.  I’ve had some disappointing things happen with this one. First it was the over ripe mango.  Then last night while preparing dinner I noticed that 3 of this weeks tomatoes had mold growing on them.  I picked them up and they were soft and mushy.  I still had 2 tomatoes left from last week and they are still good.  That doesn’t seem right.  Last week I didn’t have anything go bad.  This week I’ve had 4 things go bad already.  I hope that this isn’t a trend.  I thought I needed to share both the good and bad that can happen with these baskets.  I still think that the basket is worth my money even with the mango and tomatoes going bad.

Orange slices, Bananas, and Scones

Posted on by

The kids didn’t have school Monday morning do to a teacher work day.  This gave me more time to work on breakfast.  This breakfast hits a soft spot for me.  Growing up my family owned a cabin in Warm Lake Idaho.  Every summer we would take off for a week each month and go to the cabin.  I have many great memories of this place.  One memory is of these scones.  My mom would always plan on having scones for at least one of the breakfasts while we were there.  She would buy a package of frozen rolls and let them thaw overnight.  Then in the morning she would flatten and fry them and serve them with honey and sugar.  They disappeared faster than she could make them.  The kids love these.  These scones are really just a fry bread and aren’t that healthy all by themselves.  So I sliced three oranges and  2 bananas for  the kids to eat along with the scones.  This breakfast was a success.  Nothing was left.  Oranges are high in vitamin C and are a good source or dietary fiber.  Bananas are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
