fresh direct recently added a useful tool to their website -- shopping by recipe. all ingredients can easily be purchased on the same page the recipe appears.
had my first fizzy lizzy which i enjoyed.
how feasible is it that farmers are going to be using cloned animals for milk and meat production? i wouldn't think that would even be an option, cost-wise. but still, it's a little unsettling to have it going for FDA approval since there must be a lot more in the works for this kind of thing if it's going through. very creepy.
saw some odd numbers on my fresh direct invoice this morning. called in to complain but they assured me the numbers were high due to some credit card authorization bs. so i waited and waited. my delivery came 45 minutes late and 2 pounds heavy, or light actually.
the weight on the aspargus said 2.48lbs. i had ordered 1lb. i got 1lb but was charged for 2.48. i had a similar problem with the onions in my order. fortunately, like every good cook, i have a scale handy. fuckers reimbursed me but i should have made more of a stink and got some freebies.
