Hi Nancy!

Boy, the moon, the stars and the alignment of the planets have been crazy I
think.. else I would have replied to your message and the others here quite a
while ago (G).  Well, you know how things go some weeks.. but I sure didn't
mean to go this long! I saw Michael log on here today, and I remembered (g)
(Thanks Michael :) )

Sure, I used those peppers, and cut out the bad parts.. it's just you're paying
for fresh organic produce, so you expect better.  The Door-to-Door Organic's
people felt bad  as well that UPS kept messing up.. it had happened 4 times in
a row.  The navel oranges though were the worst.. they arrived with white mold
all over them.  I don't know if it's true, but I'd read a long time ago that
once you see mold on something, it's a waste to use since it's all throughout
the fruit or veggie.. I tried rinsing those oranges (I really wanted them Lol)
and putting them in the sun.. they still tasted yucky. :(  Thank goodness it
didn't spread to the other veggies.

>> about it since we also got japanese eggplant which I LOVE :) and
>> Daikon radish :)  used both of the right way yesterday and tonight..

Depends.. sometimes they have them over there.. but not always. More often than
Wegmans though :)

>> I'll miss it so much :(  darn :(

No, it was UPS.. We know their route, since we had to deal with them before
when we were helping out with distribution of filePro for fpTechnologies (the
software Ron designs,etc.).  We're at the _end_ of their route... So
Door-to-Door shipped on Saturday and told me to expect a Monday delivery.. They
send it next day.. Latest would have been Tuesday - so it sat in their trucks
Mon, Tues, Wed. and Thursday.. with no refrigeration. Remember when we had
those close to 70F days?  that's when we'd ordered the oranges and the lettuce.

I could try them again once we get some frigid weather.. but I'm hesitant (g).
I think the reason the UPS guy didn't deliver was probably because we are at
the end of his run, and he just wanted to go home and have dinner (bg) Can't
blame him there :)

Take care,
Janis
