More Produce and Too Much Cheese

I had a strange dream this morning where i was arranging produce into little piles. I woke up concerned that we didn't have enough room for another box, and it's a real, valid concern! We're scheduled for another load tonight that includes "6 make ups." Our last box got turned upside-down or something, because our bananas, mango, kiwi and tomatoes were mushed, bruised or split open. This means that in addition to our regular load, we're getting the equivalent 6 more items.

This past week we reduced an okay amount, but right now we still have: 1 mango, 1 harmon orange, 1 big orange*, 5 bosc pears, 1 tomato*, 1 fuji apple, 1 banana, 2 kiwi (we found one under the counter from ? many weeks ago), 3 sweet potatoes, 2 butternut squash, 1 container of sprouts*, 2 bunches collard greens, 1 cauliflower, 1 Italian eggplant, 1 bunch cilantro*, 1 head green leaf lettuce and 3 bags of carrots.

*Denotes items not of the box

At least i still haven't gotten sick! My nose is stuffy, probably from too much cheese. My throat is irritated but it's probably the searing-hot heat blasting us to desert-dryness. I don't feel sick although i feel sickly, if that makes sense. be hasn't gotten sick in months either, and he attributes it to massive produce consumption.

Back to the cheese; O, be and i had dinner at Three of Cups in the East Village last night. The bread basket we received was excellent: rosemary focaccia toasted on a grill, served with garlic-infused olive oil to dip it into. be really enjoyed his clam pasta while O and ordered personal-size pizzas. They had this thinnest, crispest crust imaginable, baked in a brick oven with little bits of char. The selection of toppings was quite good for vegetarians; i got the asiago cheese, portobello mushroom, pesto, olive and truffle oil pizza and it sure was yummy, although i picked off most of the cheese. They also listed a vegan, whole wheat crust pizza with chickpeas and roasted peppers. I would definitely go back!

Afterwards, O did a hilarious set of poems at that comedy open mic! We ended up at Sidewalk for a post-comedy snack/dinner, but i can't comment on the food since i only ordered hot cider. It seemed like American diner-y fare plus quesadillas.
