Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> The Wegmans frozen are pretty good quality, with or without a
 NB> little

 RH> But the nearest Wegman's to me is up in Columbia, MD.

 NB> True...  but I'd expect a place like Whole Foods to have decent frozen
 NB> veggies, with their reputation... :)

They have them, and I've bought them, but not recently enough to
remember anything specific about their quality. The last few years I've
tried to get as many veggies as I could, fresh thru the farmer's market
or other sources unless I needed frozen for something like turkey (or
chicken) soup. The bag I had in the freezer was left over from one of
those purchases. Actually, the last time I made soup, we bought bags of
peas & carrots and beans, no corn for Steve's benefit. Guess I'll have
to try the WF frozen veggies and give a report.


 NB> keep
 NB>  NB>> peas, corn, mixed veggies and broccoli on hand...

 RH> At one time that was similar to what I kept on hand, plus green beans.
 RH> The farmer's market has gotten me spoiled on having fresh veggies on
 RH> hand tho. (G)

 NB> I got spoiled for green beans from putting up my own from the public
 NB> market... what frozen green beans we have now are part of the mixed
 NB> veggies...  I'll get all sorts of fresh from Wegmans, in season...

I get my veggies for putting up usually at the farmer's market or a
local produce stand. Sometimes, for something like rhubarb, I'll go to
Lowe's or WF, but that's because it's not locally grown.


 NB>  NB>> Veggies in season I'm usually getting from Wegmans' produce
 NB>  NB>> department. Currently I have a delicata squash and some broccoli
 NB> in  NB>> stock... ;)  Oh, and an avocado we need to eat today... ;)

 RH> Sounds good; I've still the greens (and the butternut squash) from
 RH> last week, minus some of the bok choy. I may go over to the market
 RH> tomorrow to see what looks good for the coming week's cooking.

 NB> Down to the broccoli and added celery...

We're fluctuating, still have some greens and the squash but working on
using it up. Some of the carrots & celery we have on hand will go into
chicken soup.

 NB>  NB>> You'd just have to make sure that if you got another cart that
 NB> the  NB>> height and all were more compatible, then, I guess...  ;)

 RH> It's a pretty standard thing so I doubt there's too much difference in
 RH> height from the one we had years ago. But, I can keep looking.

 NB> Never know... might find one that's a better fit...  :)

Who knows what's out there--we'll have to look.

 NB> doesn't want it to go away until  NB>> April... I told her that I like
 NB> to see it when it covers the grass,  NB>> but not so much the car or
 NB> the streets, or turns to ice on the
 NB>  RH>> sidewalks...  ;)

 RH> And after a few months of white, you want to see green again. We're
 RH> going to get colder this week end, then warm up to the mid 60s by
 RH> Tuesday or so, only to plunge to the mid 40s by Thursday.

 NB> One certainly does appreciate spring more after a winter..  ;)  Things
 NB> are turning colder again here, after a couple of fairly warm days...
 NB> just in time to take my mom to an appointment today and a concert
 NB> tomorrow night...  I was kinda hoping for better weather for both of
 NB> those, but I guess one just has to take what one gets... ;)  Highs
 NB> tomorrow (I think) are only going to be in the 30s....

We started getting the cold today--I think it got up to 50 but tomorrow
is supposed to be about mid 40s, at best. Same with Saturday, then a
couple of days in the low 50s and back to the 40s by next Tuesday. Night
time lows will get to the mid 20s or so, January weather here, not
November.
