Bountiful Basket #2

I waited too long to place my order this week, which necessitated a different pickup location near Lakeshore and Guadalupe. Joanne left early in the morning to go to Tucson for a scrimmage, so Owen got to go on a little adventure with his Pop, which is only the second time we've been out in public solo (I don't count the couple of times I've brought him out to ultimate, since Joanne was there, although not in Owen's mode of transportation). He even got to wear his hat. He's grown into it a bit, so now he looks silly instead of goofy.

That is a move up.

Anywho, this week's haul:

• 1 # strawberries
• 2, 10 # bananas (7)
• 2, 1 # green grapes
• 1, 1 # cherry tomatoes
• 1, 5 #broccoli (2 full heads, not crowns)
• 2 # baby carrots
• 2, 15 # bosc pears (8)
• 2, 6 # mangoes (3)
• 2, 10 # red potatoes
• 3, 11 # red plums (14)
• 1, 11 # green peppers (5)

The basket is supposed to be 50/50 fruits/vegetables. That isn't quite the case. The 29 pieces of hand fruit will be a challenge, but I think we'll be OK. The location I picked up at is a new spot. I doubt that they messed up on splitting everything up, but I wonder if the delivery was mismanaged slightly and the location got an extra pallet of fruit instead of veggies. I was really surprised there was no leafy greens. There also was a basket with random stuff in it. It might have been the trade basket--I'll need to check the FAQ to see if that was it. I do recall one of the groups I looked into have that, but it required a full swap--ie the allotment of strawberries for the allotment of carrots.

Bottom line: 23 pounds of produce of mostly good quality (the pears are on the small side) for $16.50.
