A solid hit!

Over the past couple of months, I've repeatedly run into references to "Blue Apron" during the course of daily life. The name refers to a company that appears to be making a go of sending subscribers the raw materials for meals, delivered on a weekly basis.

A recent combination of (a) the company being mentioned in a comment by by LJ friend adoptedwriter and (b) an introductory $30 off offer I caught on the radio tipped the balance for me, so I signed us up and the first box arrived today. At Galina's urging, I made the "Saffron & Tomato Bucatini Pasta with Summer Squash and Basil."

Mostly.

My first move was to substitute whole wheat spaghetti for the bucatini (I am trying to stay clear of white flour). I then added one more squash (the box contained one zucchini, which just felt wrong). From there, however, I followed the recipe through to the end and served it to Galina, Alla, and myself.

The response from the ladies was quite vehement—they liked it! I liked the result as well.

This one is a keeper!

So far, so good, with Blue Apron.

Cheers...
