  • green sauce

April is sure to be much less as we will be in New Orleans for 11 days. I will purposely use up everything perishable next week before we leave. I haven’t decided whether or not to place a co-op order this month since we are scheduled to leave the day after it would arrive. David has been known to decide to leave earlier and he is champing at the bit for this trip already.
