Is it true? I thought of you when I was reading that :). ( Because it scanned as Haricots Vert, when I was logging it in, maybe :) ).

Not sure when I started drooling over beautiful veg pics!
--never would have guessed 'French green beans' came in from elsewhere!
Ever have CSA (community supported agriculture) boxes? Hence my over flow. This week had a ginormous onion - will have to snap a pic.
Had to look up... some herbs - kept the dried chervil to try - said it has a 'licorice' note, so not sure, but will try when we roast a chicken.
Also received micro arugala and button mushrooms, crumbled blue cheese - added to our salad for lunch and some of the roast cabbage.
Called on the bags of mushrooms, turns out to be shitake. Enjoyed with a shrimp & avocado omelette this morning.

ooooo, that looks delicious, and it ALL sounds fabulous! So yea, I guess my palate is (ever so slowly, lol) shifting :D. I haven't done the CSA box yet! I almost did, in 2021, but I was too late to sign up. Then I wasn't home summer 2023, and forgot about it last yr. I meant to this year, but I turned around and it was already July ;-), so I missed it this year, too. Next yr for sure !!
How do you choose!? They all sound the same 🙃

I hooked up through my neighbor who has multiple community gardens for it. Or I would be unsure too. Ours is in large metro, so offers over 100 things. I would look for size and variety I think.
It has helped expand our eating beyond our typical family 'go to' regular choices.

Safari - France, how wonderful - they have such variety and artisinal items. Love that you pursue food choices that support your goals (instead of an opportunistic foodfest!)
Edit to add - opportunistic of desserts, etc - in an over-eating way.
Strikes me though, you are seizing the opportunity for lovely, fresh nourishing foods... bit of opposing mindsets there ;)

The micro greens are popping up everywhere and seem to have awesome nutrition. The arugula I had was pleasant.

Last servings of the Peri-Peri Chicken Espetata, and mixed up Grilled Fruit Skewers seasoned with olive oil & Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning, and French Green Beans, seasoned the same 🤤

Celery custard? Who imagines these things? Lol
Peri Peri sauce sounds yummy.
Trying the orange thing from the veg box. Roasting.
I was surprised there was an inner orange core in the stem. Not sure if a cauliflower, broccolini? Drizzled with a little tomato juice. Turned out great.

Batched cooked up more veggies - the pan was so colorful, it made me hungry!
Cabage, onion, peppers, carrots, whatnot. Also sauteed up shitake & button mushrooms. Makes a quick-n easy topper.
Dinner - couldn't finish the veggie medley, eyes bigger than tummy from the batch cooking of it all.

@Bronzino23 - I love when there are fresh options and some healthier fare on flights! Love the lil olive oil haha. ;)

LOL, thx SG !! My food never looks like art ! 🤣
Looking gorgeous, yakky!
And, yummmmm your airplane food looks so good, Bronzino! Happy trails, wherever you are Xx
Freg this week was smuggled freg inside burgers - each 'burger' had 0.87 svg of diced tomatoes and 1/2 an onion (both caramalized or charred, first) inside. I was going to post, but it looks more like burger than freg, so I didn't ;-). Still working the toddler angle over here - hide the veggies! 🤣
Cheers!

Happy weekending!
Found these fresh mushroom, peas, sweet potato “burgers” I grilled & chopped, mixed with lettuce with lime, cilantro, avocado and some EVOO.
Made a black chia berry pudding. Puréed berries and black chia- a little water to absorb chia. Extra berries on the side!
The berries were so ripe and sweet! 😋
