A Green BEAN Discount for YOU!

I've subscribed to a small veg & fruit box from Green BEAN Delivery ever since they offered up a Groupon a while back. What I love about Grean BEAN Delivery is that you're allowed to customize your box. I am an adventurous eater, but I'm not a really adventurous cook. I wouldn't know what to do with 2 large acorn squashes, frankly (although I'd eat 'em if you made 'em for me).

But Green BEAn has turned me on to certain things. I've been a lifelong lover of Brussel sprouts, but Mama Lou always made the frozen kind. I had no idea what I was missing in fresh Brussel sprouts! It's like a whole different vegetable. Amazing!

Customer service has also been great. A few weeks back I got cabbage instead of the squash I'd ordered. I tweeted about it, and they automatically credited me for a couple bucks. And the cabbage turned out to be delish.

Did I mention, this fabulous bin gets delivered right to your door? You don't have to go pick it up. You don't have to be home. It's always well-packed and my bins have weathered hours out in this summer heat with nary a problem.

So I'm super excited to be able to offer y'all a discount if you're a NEW SUBSCRIBER (and sorry, it is for new subscribers only... I can't use it either!).  You can receive $15 off your first order (so that means you could get a gigantic small fruit & veg bin for just $20) by entering 15LOUEYml as a promo code.

This is an honest endorsement. Yes, Green BEAN emailed to ask if I'd like to offer a discount on the blog, but otherwise this is just me saying "Yay, I love this service!"

This coupon code is good for only ONE WEEK. So get on it quick!!

Louisvillagers Powers Activate! Form of LFPL Supporters!

I just love love love that Louisville is so full of fantastic people and that I’m getting to know so many of them.

The wise and lovely Ms. Michelle over at Consuming Louisville is urging her readers to support the Louisville Free Public Libraries with her: “Libraries are Free, But Books Aren’t” drive. The LFPL has established an Amazon wish list just for this cause.

In the rather unlikely event that you read my little blog, and not Consuming Louisville, I would love love love it if you would help support Michelle’s drive and support the LFPL by purchasing a book off of the wish list.

Mama’s a bit broke these days—even this whole blogging hobby that I have is starting to get expensive—but how can I not support this cause? I was on my way to the end of the list to purchase an adult book (if you want to buy adult books, they’re on pages 8 & 9—and I don’t mean “adult books” like the Adult Bookstore across the river means it), and I discovered that the LFPL was in need of one of my favorite books as a child: Blueberries for Sal by Robert “Make Way for Ducklings” McCloskey.

Totally reminds me of Nana and G-pa Lou, and their old beach house by the New England shore. Sniffles.

Blueberries for Sal, it is for me. What is it for you?
