i was dreading seeing the two heads of lettuce in our box this week since we hadn't even finished eating the two heads of lettuce from the last box, but all the new and fun items made up for it. needless to say, i'll be making a cream of lettuce soup again.
*marks what's new

- romaine lettuce (2 heads)
- purple cabbage (2 heads)
- cucumber (3)
- purple carrots*
- japanese eggplant*
- green beans
- cilantro
- corn
- tomatoes (not sure, but they look like heirloom)
- strawberries (1 qt)
- apples (4)

i'm not sure how they determine how much to put in the box, but it seems that there are a lot more in quantity and variety this week, which is exciting. i'll probably use the japanese egpplant in a red coconut curry. not sure what i'll make with the purple cabbage, yet. anyone have suggestions for something relatively easy? i usually just stir-fry with some red pepper, onions and basil.
