One of the joys of both living in one place is that we can buy stuff, put it in the fridge, and eat it before it goes bad.

We're getting seltzer delivered, in those old-fashioned siphon bottles, from Stella Brothers. My parents in Providence have been getting seltzer delivery all my life, and one of the things that made me want to live in Arlington is that they'll deliver here.

We also got our first Boston Organics delivery on Friday. This included three vegetables that I don't think I've ever had before. Kyle cooked the garlic scapes in an omelette yesterday morning. And dinner tonight was a three-course meal: corn on the cob, simply boiled with a little butter and salt; chard greens and shiitake mushrooms (both of which were new to me) sauteed with a little soy sauce; and zucchini and chard stalks with herbs from my own garden cooked in storebought tomato sauce and pasta. I was surprised by the buttery aftertaste of the shiitake mushrooms -- delicious. This was one of those rare occasions that a vegetarian dinner felt more than complete.

Also worth noting that the reason we get seltzer delivered is that my parents did when I was growing up. Based on these two data points (you and me), I conclude that getting-seltzer-delivered must be genetic.

Mmm... Egg cream...
