(no subject)

Last week bonacorsi had a minor accident. She was rear-ended on the freeway at maybe 5 MPH. The other driver was 100% at fault (and admitted it), and had insurance. No damage to the wife, thankfully. Our car damage is minor cosmetic on the rear bumper.

...which is still going to cost a fair amount at the body shop. It'll be covered by the other driver's insurance (eventually). And of course, our rates will probably go up.

Sigh.

Yum. And now we have a fridge *full* of vegetables.

Our CSA is over for the next four months as of yesterday. However, they are still doing "guerilla deliveries" twice a month - they show up around a restaurant who normally buys their vegetables, people pick up produce, and the restaurant gets some more traffic for a Thursday night. Everybody wins.

Tonight was at Piccino, a pizza place just over the hill from us. We've been there several times now and it's quite good, so it didn't take too much convincing. bonacorsi and I split a nettle/roasted garlic/ricotta pizza and a sausage/roasted cipollini onion pizza. They were both quite good, although the sausage pizza really hit home for me.

We also have a large bag of vegetables to tide us over for the next few weeks (ha ha): tomatoes, green and yellow Romano beans, baby carrots, purple carrots, red carrots, potatoes, tatsoi greens, collard greens, soup celery, mustard greens, watermelon radishes, parsley root, chives, and sweet peppers! I think it's more than the usual CSA box which we split with the upstairs neighbors. Now I have to figure out how to use these things.
