Today was the first delivery of the new partnership of Misfits with Imperfect Foods, and I'm very happy. I'm hoping this how they go on.
The box arrived mid morning, many hours earlier than FedEx used to deliver, from the food folk's own delivery van
Both names on the box
And less insulation, probably because everything being delivered from the vehicle is produce, no need to insulate against other substances in a FedEx van.
Packing, which included cold pack items, was very well done
And the quality is excellent.
So tonight was panfried tilapia with steamed baby carrots, dessert Greek yogurt and blueberries.
I floured the fish with a mixture of flour, turmeric, salt, black pepper and lemon zest, left it all afternoon in the fridge, panfried it this evening. Just a couple of minutes each side.
Very happy with my results of the first week in the new partnership.
I finished the flower puzzle, which turns out to be made by a flower farm in the pnw.
I really couldn't have tolerated these reds for more than just the broken up section.
But it's nice puzzle finished and ready to return. Red has a seasick-inducing effect on me, a downside of synaesthesia, so I limit my exposure.
I'm still in the midst of This Golden Fleece, and it continues to be a great journey of learning. In my own fiber world, I ran out of spun yarn last evening so I've been spinning a new supply, to knit off the spindle along with the other two yarns.
Spinning off the spindle involves keeping the spindle away from the other yarns, my afghan, sweater, etc, because it spins happily as the yarn comes off it, the unoccupied hook tangling merrily with whatever's near. I put it in a separate bag and it jumps out.
I may make it back to the knitting group tomorrow, we'll see. I'm wintering -- very willing to stay put, spin, knit, read, cook. Icy rain and wind have contributed.
Happy evening everyone, stay warm or cool depending on which hemisphere you're reading from! From here it's hard to believe it will get warm again.
