In other news....
We picked up the food dehydrator yesterday! It's a Ronco!!!! Haven't tried it ouy yet, but soon...very soon. As an aside, it appears everything we buy off of craigslist in detroit is available for pick-up on Prentis street. We bought a car from a guy on Prentis like 3 years ago, and yesterday, like 4 buildings down, a dehydrator. Strange, no?

Oh and we also picked up our CSA share yesterday (on foot! Go us.) Here's what's in store this week:

Butternut Squash

Acorn Squash

Green & Red Peppers (sweet)

Beans

Eggplant

cherry tomatoes

Macintosh apples (from Brozowski Farms)

Tomatoes-6 romas per share

More soon.
