Full Belly Foods

One yummy thing about being in the Bay Area is Full Belly Farm, from whom we get a box of organic veggies every week. I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile for many reasons but never made sense when I lived alone.

I really wanted to get foods that I wouldn’t buy on my own. See, I’m a ridiculous creature of habit when it comes to eating. If there is something I like, for example Caesar Salad, I will eat it every night – for not days but for months on end with very few interruptions.

I also wanted to start cooking again. Cooking is fun because I like to make pretty plates of food. I’ve been told that my salads are beautiful. The tricky part of pretty plate presentation is that there needs to be someone other than yourself there to admire it. I have a captive audience now and along with mystery veggies, I’m making some good edible art.

Pictured above is a red daikon. Who knew such a gorgeous spicy little bugger existed? Delish shredded in salads or as a potent appetizer sliced and sprinkled with salt.
