\nI used to get a box of vegetables delivered every two weeks from Ekol\u00e5dan. (Actually from another company first, but then I switched to Ekol\u00e5dan.) The “cabbage problem”<\/a> was noticeable from day 1 and never really went away, so I finally gave up.<\/p>\n

Instead I signed up to Linas matkasse<\/i>, a meal kit delivery service. Now I get recipes and all the materials for three vegetarian dinners for four persons. In a way this is a completely different thing – all the thinking has been done for me and I just chop and cook. But it partly scratches the same itch anyway: it gives me new meal ideas and helps me cook something other than the same old.<\/p>\n

The meal kits are really convenient, especially for the days when I don’t have time to stop by the supermarket and would otherwise just cook up something quick and rather boring. Now we get something quick and not boring. The kids are not always super happy; there are often groans and sighs when I tell them I will be cooking a “Lina meal” for dinner. But they would probably grumble about some of my dinners anyway.<\/p>\n

The cabbage problem is gone. But instead there are occasional herb problems. The chefs at Lina really like their herbs and fresh ginger, and in my opinion wildly overdose them. If I followed their instructions about ginger, some of the meals would be near inedible in my opinion. I generally tone down the herbs as well. Today’s meal is a perfect example – the recipe included an apple and kohlrabi salad with fresh oregano. I halved the amount of oregano and still it dominated so strongly that if I hadn’t prepared the salad, I wouldn’t have been able tell what veggies were in it. (I ended up rinsing most of it away from the salad.) I suspect their recipe calls for “half a stand of oregano” only so that they can say that they waste no raw materials. So now I am throwing away oregano etc instead of cabbage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
