Vegetable Delivery from "Two Small Farms"





One of my clients told me about vegetable delivery from Watsonville. I signed up for 4 weeks trial first and I LOVED IT! I extended my subscription to the end of this season (Nov 18). They deliver once a week at each pick-up site in south bay, Pennisula and San Francisco.

In the box, there are:

Salad Mix

Bunched Leeks

Strawberries

Celery

San Marzano Tomatoes

Onions

Bunched Orange Carrots

Bag of Poblano, Jalapeno and Serrano Peppers



The quantity is enough for 4 people for one week. I split with my girlfriend Michi. I try to go to farmers market on weekend but sometimes I don't have time to go. Also, there are some vegetables I don't normally buy on my own. It forces me to try something new in an interesting way as they also provide lots of recipes.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month



We see pink color all over the place in October. Ironically, I was diagnosed in October. It's 2 years ago. The day I was diagnosed, I remember when I was leaving doctor's office and saw the sign of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" on the building wall. I didn't even notice when I went into his office. It made me feel that I entered the new world where I've never been and had no idea about.

October is special month for me. It's my mission to tell people to do self-check and follow all doctor's appointments. There are things we can't control in life, but we can take good care of ourselves.
