I've tried cardamom ice pops and they are very delicious, I usually buy them at an indian grocery store in jackson heights, can't wait to try that cardamom-cinnamon ice cream. thanks for the great post.

Have you ever had manchego with quince paste. ADORE. I have some in the fridge now, from when we were on the Costa Brava. I just can't remember what it's called in Spanish, I keep forgetting the name...but never the taste of the two together. Hello Charles,

]]> Comment on CSA: Farm Fresh To You by Christine http://www.100miles.com/csa-farm-fresh-to-you/comment-page-1/#comment-3461 Christine Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:51:35 +0000 http://www.100miles.com/?p=5835#comment-3461 I was very excited to find out that FFTY delivered to my address in So Cal. There are some CSA’s that deliver within LA but never to my part of the Valley. As a certified Master Gardener, vegetarian, and someone who supports eating fresh, healthy and local, I was so excited to support this company and help spread the word to other Valley-folk who are unfamiliar with CSA’s. I loved the idea of eating and cooking within season and having to prepare my meals based on what was inside my delivered veggie box. Unfortunately, I did not have as good of an experience with FFTY as I had hoped. My first delivery did not arrive although I did receive a phone call that the driver missed my area and that I would have to wait until the next delivery date. When I did receive my first delivery, I was not impressed at all. The 2 peaches and nectarines were so soft that by the second day they were starting to mold. The lettuce and broccoli were very wilted and the carrots were so tiny that I could have eaten them all in a handful. A friend of mine told me she was not happy with her experience with them either and she had canceled her subscription. I was very heart broken to have to cancel but I just don’t have the money to pay for food to go right into the compost pile. When I called to cancel a few weeks later, it did not make it any better, that I was billed for two boxes although I only received one. I was told that someone in my neighborhood must have stole my box but that I’m still responsible to pay for it. The woman on the phone had no sympathy for my awful experience with them which made me sad knowing my true intensions were to support and encourage their mission. I was, however, credited for the bad produce that I informed them of from the ONE box I did receive. Sad ending to what I had hoped would be a great relationship. I no longer support this company.
