Sept 11th Pic!

"Due soon"

My first CSA pickup! Phoenix Co-Op - Bountiful Baskets  We got one last weekend also but since I had to be at work by 7am, Eva picked it up. This morning we both went to get our Organic basket, our pick-up site was Mitchell Park near University and Hayden. According to Eva this was a ton of people compared to the first site she went to pick-up last weeks basket. The lady in the pic above walked past us and spoke to her friend standing behind us, apparently she's due at the end of October.

Speaking of the lady behind us, she had two little kids in tow, one was no more than 2-3 years old, the other can still be measured in months. She asks (Asks!!) the 2 year old if he wants to go play in the playground while she stands in line, offers him a choice, 1. You can go play in the playground 2. Stand in line with me. This exchange would've gone down a lot (lot!!) differently back in my childhood. Two options, 1. Stay in line and shut-up 2. Try to play in the playground and be grounded. The kid today however asked one follow-up question, "Will you get me after you're done?"...smart kid I guess. I probably would've been just happy running off and playing all day without any worries.

"Thunderstorms"

Similar to the noises grocery store produce isles make, however sprinkler water can't be that good for your Organic veggies. Actually considering Sprinkler water once contained organic matter maybe it's better that my tomatoes are soaked in it. 

"Morning Rush"

"Organic"

We got Mangoes!! And other stuff that I'm not too sure I can identify. 

"Freshly Laundered"

"Fruits and such"

Yup we brought a laundry basket to carry the Organic food. Atleast the green matches the organic nature of the food. Did I mention we got Organic produce? It's 100% Organic in case you were curious, all those years of pesticide immunity I built up down the drain :(
