I eat real food

What I love about living in the Inner West is the amount of ethical, sustainable, organic etc cafes and restaurants that are walking distance from my house. Sure it's hipster-central on the weekends but for all the delicious food available I'm willing to button up my top button and slap on my bowler hat/lensless glasses.

I recently stumbled across Real Food Projects who are putting the spotlight on 'local, seasonal and sustainable foods, hand-crafted by Sydney-based artisans, chefs and urban farmers.' No need to buy that processed shit from Woolies when you can get the amazing products these guys have sourced.

Stopped by the pop-up shop in Newtown today and couldn't resist grabbing some tea and lime cordial. Yum!

Eat your vegetables

I LOVE food but I find food shopping really overwhelming, usually I'm in and out the door in about 15 minutes with exactly the same items each week. That's boring but I can't be bothered battling the crowds and after work has sucked the life out of me I am fresh out of food creativity. I have, from time to time, ordered a delivery from Woolies but the quality is not great - normally I would not choose a spongy apple but apparently this how Woolies thinks they are best eaten.

In fantasy life I head to the farmer's markets each weekend, unfortunately real life sees me working most weekends so it's not really an option. Then I figured online shopping could also probably be applied to a farmer's market situation and much to my delight I found Box Fresh. Wednesdays are now pretty exciting when I spot the new box at the front door.

Enough typing, here's tonight's dinner made out of Box Fresh produce and other random pantry/fridge/garden bits.
