Mystery Box Thursdays

One of the highlights of my week is Thursday afternoons, when my seasonal fruit and veg box from SydneyFresh is delivered. For $35 I get amazingly fresh seasonal produce delivered to a doorstep of my choosing. In this case the delivery is made to my office and presented to me by whoever is lucky enough to receive it from the delivery man. I know this box is going to arrive once a week, but somehow the excitement and novelty of it is yet to wear off. Whoever brings the box round to my cubicle is always greeted by the site of me, bouncing up and down on the Swiss ball I sit on and clapping my hands in delight (I thought it would be a better option for me to sit on a Swiss ball after one of the senior members of the office busted me spinning around on an office chair while gleefully yelling "Weee!". Did I forget to mention this was the first impression this poor man had of me?). Anyway, my good friend Troy talked me into getting this delivered after he raved about how fresh it was, and he was right.

What I love most about it, is the fact that it's seasonal and I'm able to support Australian produce. I also love that I never know what I will be cooking come Thursday night. This has really enabled me to get creative in the kitchen. What was in today's box of delicious goodness you ask? Cauliflower, broccoli, zucchinis, tomatoes, snow peas, spinach leaves, potatoes, celery, mushrooms, carrots, pumpkin and my favourite, brussel sprouts! In the way of fruit I recieved pears, apples, oranges, mandarins and kiwi fruit. This is the smallest box available (with the largest box costing $70) and is the perfect size for a couple, or like me, a single gal who eats enough for two. You can also order extras like free range eggs, herbs and spices, and also flowers.
