I think it did, just wish they'd have let me know before going up there
what I was going to get.

We got some at the local farmer's market on Saturday. Got 3 boxes, 2 of
which are crushed and in the freezer now. Part of the last one went into
a spinach salad, another part will be strawberry short cake tonight. The
remainder will be used in different ways and we'll probably get more on
Saturday.

I usually buy fresh but wanted certain ones for my chicken soup. Got
some asparagus, kale and spinach at the farmer's market on Saturday.
Nice thing about that is that we know the growers. (G)
