Costco fresh fruit and veg has been soooo good lately! We didn't get anything planted at home this year as so much needs doing before we start on the vegetable garden next Spring........we have a few raspberries and strawberries growing and some rhubarb......nothing else this year sadly......lots of plans for next year though...especially now we have a rotatiller (sp???)
Anyway....we have been buying a lot of fresh foods from Costco...their raspberries are gorgeous! Yum......I haven't made a pavlova with them yet because they don't last long enough....in the evenings I've been snacking on a bowl of fruit loops and raspberries....which is really nice because the fruitloops act a bit like a meringue in a pavlova......I guess you could do a very low point pavlova with light cool whip and Miss Vickies meringues.....covered in rfesh raspberries......
Their zucchini have also been wonderful...I love mine cut lengthways and then broiled (grilled in the UK) with a little of Mrs Dash's seasonings sprinkled on them......yum........
Tonight we're having asparagus though.....broiled again (grilled) and everyone loves them too......the tips are all nutty and yum! But sadly asparagus has a weird side effect.....funky pee ;)
I always tease the boys that we're having funky pee tonight! Why on earth does Asparagus make your pee smell so weird????? It really is the weirdest smell ever......so weird that you can find articles about it on the web:

And there are plenty of other sites online too to find out the whys........
So if you are in the other half of people who DON'T have funky pee after eating asparagus then LUCKY YOU because I love eating asparagus but don't eat it more than every couple of weeks or so because of the smell....
I blame my parents...... ;)
Anyhoo.......Costco.......great for fresh fruit and veg!
