Okay, so we are about to receive our first shipment of Azure Standard in our teeny-weeny home.  In order to get the shelves bare enough to organize the bulky items, we're gaffing the grocery store and cleaning out the shelves of both refrigerator and pantry.  

Drum roll here.

  1. Okay, I give up. What's Azure Standard? Is it legal? Does it make you fat? It is fun?

  2. LOL!! It's a bulk organic company that delivers by semi-truck--totally legal, could make you fat if you bury yourself in the bins, purely fun!!

    I'm trying to cut our grocery shopping down to meats only ((in this area, we cannot yet afford organic)). But, we've joined the Community Support Association of a local farm, where we get a weekly box of fresh and organic fruits and veggies for very little money, compared to shopping retail. Tricky part is thinking about menus "inside the box!!" And Azure stocks my pantry with grains, pastas, flours, pulses, nut butters, etc.
