Biokiste

It's been a while, and a taste of things to come. For too long have I allowed myself to become stressed out, trying to submit an article per week. I've decided that enough is enough, so I'm lowering my expectations as follows; this is May's article and you can expect a monthly article from now on. So you can expect a new article sometime in June. Obviously any guest articles will be a bonus in the month, in which they arrive, but they've been pretty thin on the ground so don't expect many of them.

This week I'll address Biokiste. This is another positive development of the corona crisis. For some weeks we have been receiving a crate (see picture) of fresh fruit and veg, One can pretty much choose the contents but we seldom deviate far from the standard offering. Every Thursday, we could receive, for example, some tomatoes, parsnip, asparagus, carrots, lettuce, mushrooms, onions and then some of the following fruit; apples, bananas, blueberries etc..  As you may have guessed they don't all grow locally but a lot do, and the fact that they can be delivered by bicycle further limits our carbon footprint, while improving our ethical-shopping-score for the week. I heartily recommend this service as it's a great way to enforce a varied diet, in an ethical way.

Next month I will start including an asterisk when there is a new record, for the last time here, we'll allow the asterisk to denote that no change has taken place. This record period included 10 days, in which I was under the weather with gastrointestinal issues.
