Upsides: someone else thinks about some of the food I eat, and sends me recipes about it; fresh fruit; cool stuff like oysters; the cheese was pretty good; the eggs were GREAT, and I always finished them; supporting local farms = more goodness.

Downsides: I have to go to the farm to pick them up, which always made me feel swamped (though I could switch it to Saturday mornings for this year); it’s still pretty expensive (~$35/week) for what you get; sometimes I got stuff I couldn’t use or didn’t like (some of the cheeses, some of the meats, the veggies were usually pretty easy to swap, but how much cabbage can one girl eat?!?)

Also, my life is a lot more settled now than it was last summer (no more needing to get out of town every other weekend to get away from feeling crazy/sad), and I’m cooking much more than I was last year.  So, I could probably use it more than I did then.  But, I also still have ground lamb and turkey in my freezer from the last share that I didn’t use (I guess I could use them both in a chili, hm.)

So, thoughts?
