Hi food box followers;

If you are getting your box on January 17th then I encourage you to read the last blog I posted on January 6th as the boxes are nearly identical.

The only difference is the variety of pears will be Flemish, the variety of apples will be Mutsu, the variety of lettuce will be iceberg and there will be grape tomatoes instead of the zucchini.

I encourage you all to be creative this month and try one of the recipes in the newsletter. They are both great winter comfort food recipes.

I would also encourage you to share a recipe with us. It sometimes a real challenge to come up with new ideas after writing the newsletter for 7 years.

I hope you all can remember to thank your drop site volunteer coordinators. They spend at least 4 hours a month working on this for you…a little thank you is so much appreciated.

There is information in this newsletter about what to do in case of inclement weather on box dellivery day. If the roads are hazardous we post pone box packing and delivery until the next day – Wednesday. To find out if box delivery is delayed one day you can listen to our voice mail at 905-634-8645; log on to this blog for an update; or listen for an announcement on CFRB (10.10 am) radio, and CHML (900 am) radio.

Happy munching in January.

The food box guru
