Oh yum!

At New Year, we made a commitment to eating more healthily. Since then, my mental and physical health have both been very poor and for the last couple of weeks we have eaten rubbish, including lots of take outs. For me, now, a take out signals being ill, rather than a treat.

We pulled ourselves together enough last week, to explore Abel and Cole. This is a delivery service that works with organic farmers and food producers. All their stuff is traceable back to the farm and is all ethically sourced.

At 9.30 this morning, our new delivery man came to the door bearing lots of (recycled) cardboard boxes.

I was so excited! Normally the Sainsbury's delivery makes me think 'gird your loins, Piggles, and just get it over with'.

What a difference today. Everything fresh and lovely.

It all smelled and felt wholesome. The bags at the back hold cabbage and sprouting broccoli. I will have to surf the web a bit to look for red cabbage recipes. There was also some celery, but that made its way into the dairy products photo:

Organic cheeses, houmous, salmon, cream ( a Texan needs cream in coffee!), whole milk and Guernsey milk, wild mackerel pate and breads. Oh yum. Lunch will be a dense rye and spelt bread with mackerel pate, houmous and vegetable sticks. *I think I might have dribbled a little there*

Then there is fresh fruit. We tend to eat more fruit than veg, but we are attempting to switch that around. Here is the fruit box:

I can report that my cup of tea with the organic whole milk has been a very tasty accompaniment to writing this.
