Ralphie ★ Posted January 17, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2019 Should be aboot a 3-4 week supply. Could have been worse because I stifled myself from buying lemon grass. I realized I probably wouldn't have managed to cook with it. One disappointment so far - the poblanos have no heat atoll! They taste like *(&*(&%$ green bell peppers! So it is snot just jalapenos that are highly variable. The poblanos I got at the nearby farmstand this summer were poifect - nice and hot! Blackberrries are $1.25 and raspberries are $3 for the same small container! No contest! Have I mentioned I loved the cheap produce place? It hurt me to pass up the 2 for $2 romaine though - too risky. We'll get that at the grocery store where they have the sticker of origin on it. I bought iceberg for its crunchiness for the first time in ages. BTW, these peoces are per package, usually 1,2 or 3 pounds - the apples are 3 pounds, the carrots 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the chips were to appease the Mrs,. for me filing the fridge with froot and veggies, although I gotta admit I enjoyed them also. Also, it didn;t work. Plus, it is low cal because I had some mini carrots and peppers and a small apple with it. I can go apeshit like this in the late fall, winter, and early spring because I hang the excess stock right out side the door to the garage for cold storage and easy access. The trick? Don't fuggedaboutit! I guess I shoulda coulda woulda cut off the pic before the chips and hoagie. Live and learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I meant was some things will last that long, and the ones that won't will be eaten within a couple of weeks. The broccoli raab and the green beans won't last that long, but the peppers and onions will, the potatoes more like 3 weeks max, and the carrots and celery will be eaten in more like two weeks. The apples will keep, but barely - might start getting soft toward the end. Oranges are probably 3 weeks max. The Italian hoagie a couple days, and the chips won't make it. The blackberries are only good for a week max - I will go heavy on them in the morning serial. Green peppers keep much mo better than colored ones, but this batch of poblanos aren't of as high a quality and freshness so I'll hit them a little harder. I am just in the middle of a batch of jalapenos I bought quite a while ago and that batch was a pretty good keeper. Of course at a place like this the quality varies from day to day, I guess it depends on where you come in on the truckload, but my experience has been mostly positive for sure. Very little spoilage in a normal time frame. This is why I love peppers and apples and onions and potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romaine is normally a great keeper, and so is iceberg. Arugula wilts a tad after a couple of weeks. I do this because the place is so far away. I would love it if it were closer.
