This Season's First Box Of Annouimo (2007-11-07)
We pre-ordered 3 Kg of Annouimo back in August. The email from the farmer only said it'd arrive in mid October and that it'd be C.O.D. There's no further email from him ever and for all we know, he might've forgotten about us entirely.
The box arrived without warning one morning. In the true
fashion of Murphy's Law, out of the whole day the delivery truck could
come, it came at the exact same time when I just stepped out of the
shower, hair dripping wet and naked! I asked the courier to wait
but he kept ringing the bell!
I hurriedly tossed a shirt on, braless, wrapped a towel around my
head and opened the door. The man was very nice and professional
but I felt really embarrassed while we finished up the
transaction.
But later, the embarrassment immediately gave way to joy when I
opened the box and
saw the beautiful sweet potatoes freshly picked just a couple of days
ago (says the letter that accompanied the box). These sweet
potatoes are expensive (US$22 for 3Kg), but so so so worth it.
