Welcome to your St. Patty’s Day box! Plenty of cabbage and potatoes to add to anything you might be making. The kraut from last week might be something you can use you can use as well.
Something new. Galangal Root: Similar to ginger except it can't be grated and must be sliced. The flavor is strong - earthy, sharp, and extra citrusy.
NEW STORE PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT!! WILD CAUGHT ALASKAN SALMON AND COD.
*Click on the pics below to order!
A couple years ago I was looking for a DIRECT connection to a fisherman/woman out of Alaska that I could buy WILD CAUGHT fish from…(hard to believe that I don’t trust the grocery stores or websites right?!?!). I got ahold of Heidi from The Wild Salmon Co. and talked to her for like an hour about where they fish out of.
Side note: Turns out it’s right outside of Juneau where my wife and I met and worked for a summer way back in 2002.
Back to the story: Her and her husband/partner/babydaddy fish in a family business that has traveled around the globe together (many times by boat)...read the whole tall tale here.
I personally ordered their fish and have reordered a few times since then, always hoping that we would be able to get a BIG order for our members.
THIS FISH IS SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. I love salmon but actually like the cod the best. It is so oily and buttery and all I ever put on it is salt and pepper.
Bottom line: We made it happen. We have it in house...order it so that you have it in YOUR house.
Couldn’t be more WILD CAUGHT, couldn’t be more SUSTAINABLY CAUGHT...it’s literally a human on a boat...fishing.
TEASER ALERT...next week’s box...3/14/20 aka Pi Day!!

Oranges
Storage: Whole oranges store best unwashed at room temperature out of direct sunlight or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, depending on your preference. Keep them in a net bag or an open bowl so air can circulate freely around the oranges.
Store garlic at room temperature in a dry, dark place that has plenty of air circulation, like in a wire-mesh basket or open paper bag in a cupboard or pantry.
Storage: Carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month by cutting off the greens and placing carrots in a containers with lid and cover completely in water in the refrigerator. Change the water ever 4-5 days.
Storage: To keep watercress fresh for up to 5 days, store it in the refrigerator in a deep bowl, upside-down with the stems submerged in cold water and the leafy tops covered with a plastic bag.
Galangal Root
Storage: Place whole, unwashed mushrooms in a brown paper bag and fold the top of the bag over. Then stick the bag in the main compartment of your refrigerator.
Storage: Keep microgreens between damp paper towels, covered in a container in the fridge. Keep greens covered right up until they hit the plate—this will ensure that they don't wilt or dry out during service.
Storage: Keep unripe green tomatoes, stem side down, in a paper bag or in a cardboard box in a single layer. Place in a cool area until they turn red in color. Perfectly ripe tomatoes should be kept at room temperature on the counter away from sunlight.
Storage: If you don't have a lot of apples, the refrigerator is a good option. Place them in the crisper drawer in an opened container with holes in it or cover the apples with a damp paper towel.
