Hey folks! I actually have some readers now!! The pressure is ON! :)
Yesterday, I spent most of my day sitting around, waiting for a certain delivery (can you guess what it is? If so, you must be psychic, because I haven't mentioned it on here yet...). I also got ready for the Opening Night Party of the Interior Design Show in the Metro Convention Centre!!
My mother is a ceramic artist, and was accepted to be an exhibitor in Studio North (a feature exhibit at the IDS). I'm so proud! If you're near the Convention Centre this weekend, the IDS is a great show (you can say hi to my Mom--and maybe you'll see me, too!)
My sister and I attended the swanky opening night party with her. It was amazing! One of the best/worst things was all the free, amazing food & drinks (they had drinks you could pay for, too, but there were also booths with free beer tastings and such). I'm not gonna lie, I definitely indulged. I was on my feet the whole time though, but probably not enough to counteract all the delicious food (including a cookie on a stick!)
But, back to that special delivery I mentioned...
It's a wanigan! Wanigan is a company that delivers fresh fruits & vegetables to your home. I've been interested in this for awhile, but I finally ordered the "Metro Wanigan" this week. The website describes it as follows: "A well balanced assortment of colourful fruits and vegetables, this Wanigan is for households looking for nutrition, variety and value. Enjoy 8 to 12 different items of which at least 3 are certified organic, at least 3 are locally grown and 4 of the 5 colour groups are always represented." Mine included a tomato, carrots, celery, oranges, apples, broccoli, leaf lettuce, spinach, potatoes, a mango (!), and bananas! I also ordered a red onion a la carte.
Look how sad my fruit bowl was before my wanigan delivery:
Look at it now! (Notice how the avocado has been tossed aside to make room for the newer, more exciting fruit.) I forgot to include the potatoes in the picture above, so here they are, too.
I'm going to see how long it takes me to work my way through this (I'm hoping it will encourage me to eat more vegetables), and I may start having a wanigan delivered weekly or biweekly. Fun!
