Bountiful Baskets again in March

(This is a late post-we got this order over a month ago-I just haven't posted in awhile except for posts that were already scheduled.)  Bountiful Baskets $15 share with pears, asparagus, beans, tomatoes, cauliflower, green onions, Granny Smith apples, pineapple, bananas, romaine lettuce and a melon.

 Mexican pack $8.50 contained tomatillos, key limes, many peppers, onions, garlic, avocados, onions and cliantro.  (Made homemade guacamole with a recipe Hedgehog got from a school activity.)

Tortilla pack  $10.50 had 3 dozen of the 12-inch flour tortillas, 2 dozen of the 6-inch flour tortillas and 2 dozen of the 6-inch corn tortillas.  These were fantastic!  We went through the 2 dozen corn tortillas in a couple of days.  I did freeze some of the flour tortillas for future use.  They are cooked but only lightly so they warm up quickly-kind of like brown and serve rolls only with tortillas.

Sunday Randomness #154 Nerdy Notes

The note reads: "Dear Eva,
Since you don't seem to be eating your nerds very quickly, I helped you out a bit. Thank you and you're welcome! Love, Jessica."

Certain categories of candies are not safe if left out in the open-scavengers move in quickly and take advantage. Some scavengers acknowledge the breach and offer thanks to the hoodwinked party. Most of the time the scavengers merely leave either a lightened container or, more injurious (and insulting to the party but complimentary to the candy corporation), leave an empty package with no clue as to the identity of the candy consumer. If you want to protect your candy, share! No really, share. Scavengers are likely to show leniency on parties that share; the assuaging of temptation goes far in restraining candy thieving tendencies.
