Hiya,
Regarding the veggie boxes, I haven't really enjoyed them as of late. They are
looking pretty sad. :-( There isnt enough fruit and vegetables for the price.
Have the prices increased since last semester? A 30 dollar box went a long way
last semester but the 30 boxes we have ordered are not as abundant. Also the
oranges are bitter and went off quite quickly.
Would like to see more apples in particular before the season ends! Some soup
veggies, parsnips every 2 weeks or so would be good as well. What do others
think?
On a positive note the shop is looking cleaner than ever. Great to see!
Best of luck on your trip.

---> Hello all!
--->
---> I am working as the internal coordinator in the co-op this semester, which
---> means that I am in charge of shop aesthetics as well as doing the veggie
---> ordering. I am thoroughly enjoying doing this job and I hope that those of
---> you who get veggies are enjoying them as well!
--->
---> I am writing for two reasons. First, I will be overseas for the next
---> couple of weeks to present a paper at a conference. Because I won't be
---> around to do the cleaning I normally do, it would be good if everyone who
---> works in the shop is really conscious of doing some cleaning when you
---> work. If you are ever bored, there are a number of things that always need
---> doing, such as:
--->
---> Sweeping the floor
---> Doing the washing up and putting away dry dishes
---> Wiping down barrel lids
---> Wiping down the shelves
---> Making sure the shop is generally tidy
--->
---> Secondly, I have been doing the veggie ordering this semester and this
---> time around I thought we'd try something new. At this time of year, kale
---> is cheap, in season and very nutritious, so I've ordered a bunch for
---> tomorrow. To find out more about the nutrition aspects of kale check out:

--->
---> And there are thousands of recipes online if you are unsure what to do
---> with it...just google 'kale recipes' and you get many, many suggestions.
--->
---> I try to order veggies that are in season, cheap and tasty, but if you
---> ever have any comments or suggestions about the boxes please feel free to
---> email me.
--->
---> Thanks everyone and I look forward to seeing you upon my return!

---> Best wishes
