Weekly Menu
This next week our vegetable and fruit co-op begins. I mentioned before that I've never done a co-op and I really don't know what to expect. According to the co-op schedule I could be getting green onions, kohlrabi, lettuce, peas, radishes, and spinach. I could also getting strawberries. But apparently the growing season hasn't cooperated with the plans, so I really don't know what I'm getting. Hence, my plans could be for naught, but I'll give it a shot. I'm not going to buy many vegetables at the store though, because I can't stand waste. So, I'll just use what I have in the house if our delivery is skimpy.

My mom's birthday is tomorrow. I'll not say how old she is, but I'll tell you she looks younger than she is! She requested a Mexican feast, so we'll have Chicken Fajitas and all the toppings, Margaritas, yellow rice, and she requested brownies and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Yum!
And don't forget to bake a birthday cake on Sunday -- Pentecost is the birthday of our Catholic Church.

I was in a co-op for a few years. I really loved it, although, you're right, it is hard to plan. I have never used The Joy of Cooking as much as I did then!
