It's the most wonderful time of the year, but this year it seems busier than ever. With two holiday parties to attend, and three and a half days of work travel this week, I have no idea if we're going to be able to use much of the box at all. By the time I figured that out, though, it was too late to reschedule the week's box, so we're trying to make the best of it. I traded a few harder-to-use-up items (swiss chard, eggplants) for the delicious strawberries that the farm has had available at their market stand, as strawberries (and generally any fruit) will always get eaten! Quite a few items (lemons, carrots, beets and spaghetti squash) will make it until after I get back from my work trip, so I really just need to try to figure out a way to incorporate a few ingredients into a couple of meals. Following an overly ambitious week, this is going to be a pretty dull week in our kitchen. Hopefully, next week's mad dash to use up what didn't get consumed this week will make up for it!

When all else fails, try a muffin, right? Here's to everyone enjoying this next week, including me! The holidays are right around the corner...
This week's title is inspired by the song of the same name by Andy Williams.
