Aussie Farmers Direct Challenge

So what did I get from Aussie Farmers Direct for my $35AU this week?

5 x Pears  :: sigh ::  I’m thinking pear butter maybe?

4 x Sundowner Apples

3 x Golden Delicious Apples

3 x Bananas

4 x Carrots

1 x Cauliflower

10 x Brushed Potato

2 x Broccoli

3 x Brown Onions

3 x Zucchini (the list in the box said I should have gotten 2, seems I scored an extra one)

3 x Murcott Mandarins

1 x Red Onion

5 x Roma Tomatoes

4 x Oranges

1 x Capsicum

6 x Beetroot (the list said 3, but I got 6, they are fairly small so perhaps that is why)

1 x Eggplant

1 x Honey Dew Melon

I’ve got some great recipe ideas percolating, can’t wait to get cooking.  Ratatouille would seem to be a must this week, but I will have a look in my recipe books before I make a final decision.  Probably not beetroot ice-cream though

Now for confession time.

I ended up throwing out a couple of stalks of celery from the box two weeks ago, it was all limp and yukky.  I gave away the pineapple and the mandarins to my sister in law, the mandarins from this weeks box have been given away also.
