Refer trucks

Wow! We got three refer trucks in last night. It's been several weeks since we were last restocked on refridgerated and frozen goods. We've been out of lettuce for two weeks now and down to apples for fresh fruit. Today we had apples, oranges, bananas, nectarines, lettuce, etc. Life is good!

It's nice to be able to appreciate things like lettuce. It makes my salads better, it makes my sandwich better; even though it's Iceberg and not Romaine or anything fancy it's still good to have fresh lettuce. I missed the onions today at lunch, I'll have to find them at dinner.

I used to go to the grocery store every other day or so to pick up fresh vegetables and bread. Fresh vegetables are one of the things I miss the most. What I wouldn't give for some lightly steamed broccoli with a little fresh cheese and freshly ground pepper on top! Our broccoli is so overcooked I hate to even look at it. Homemade mashed potatoes with the red skins blended in and some smoked garlic cloves. I hate powdered garlic.

God, I'm babbling. I miss cooking my own food.
