Vickery PickUp – Just a heads up…There will be some weeks in September that we will not have Vickery delivery or pick up. Watch this page for announcements.

With all the hustle and bustle of back-to-school and new routines, it’s easy to forget things like picking up your TCH order. Remember that we can’t keep your items past 12pm, and we’ll try contacting you any way we know how to make sure you get what you ordered. Now’s a great time to check the phone number on your account to make sure it’s a number I can reach you at 11:45am on a Saturday. I start calling everyone who hasn’t picked up yet then, and will keep trying to reach you until 12pm, when we have to pack it all up. I hate seeing people’s food go somewhere else, and having a good phone number on your account is the best way to keep that from happening.

OKRA RECIPE
“Roasting okra is simple and easy, and as a bonus, the vegetable’s texture is much firmer when roasted.”

Ingredients:
18 fresh okra pods, sliced 1/3 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons black pepper, or to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Arrange the okra slices in one layer on a foil lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

My kitchen is not very pretty (needs some serious updating) but many of you have asked for a peak inside my refrigerator and pantry to see what a Weston A. Price kitchen looks like.
