The other night I came home to find a box waiting for me, just outside my front door. When I opened it up, this is what I saw:
It was a box full of “farm fresh” organic vegetables—carrots, squash and a lot of other stuff I don’t even know the names of. Where did these farm fresh organic vegetables come from? Surely it must’ve been left at my door in error. I certainly didn’t spend my hard-earned money purchasing farm fresh organic vegetables to be delivered straight to my door.
I checked the label on the box only to find a non-existent address. I asked my neighbors, but nope—the farm fresh organic vegetables did not belong to them. I even called the farm fresh organic people and they had no record of any vegetables being delivered to my front door or anyone in my immediate vicinity reporting undelivered farm fresh organic vegetables.
They were mine to keep. Perhaps a gift from the god of farm fresh organic vegetables? Regardless, a pleasant and completely unexpected surprise. Maybe not as pleasant a surprise as opening my front door and finding this:
But certainly better than opening my front door and finding this:
You go, all you women of color!












Hey–that’s what I’ve been talking about Phil. I didn’t send it to you though. We’ve been enjoying our weekly boxes. If you do want to subscribe, let me know–I have a coupon.
The container looks like a pod from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I used to subscribe to an organic company that supplied weekly fresh veggies, drove out to Sunland every other week. The drive started to become a pain, not to mention the hike in gas prices so I eventually canceled my subscription. But I did enjoy all the goodies while it lasted. Can’t beat actually experiencing what a real tomato tastes like or some of the more atypical odd looking vegetables I had never seen or tasted before.
Hi Philip, you really struggled to find a way to put the photo, didn’t you?
I’d be worried that it is “tainted” in some way.. if the source company doesn’t know about it, it’s suspect.
I get annon gifting etc, but there are too mant odd bits here to trust it..
Oh.. and go get some farmers market goddies.. just treat yourself.
