The salsify is back this week! The long thin root with brown skin has many nicknames. They are also called winter asparagus or ‘armelui’ asparagus because their taste is similar to asparagus. Peeling releases a sticky juice that stains easily. For that it’s also called ‘kitchen maid’s grief’ or ‘housewife’s grief’. Tip: put on gloves or peel the salsify under water. Cleaning is a bit of work, but then you have a delicious vegetable!

Time to party!
Next year, Lekkernassûh will exist for 10 years! Let’s celebrate with each other! Do you like to party? Do you have creative ideas to pay attention to our 10th anniversary and feel like organizing something? Sign up by sending Liane Lankreijer an e-mail (bestuur@lekkernassuh.org).
Your help is needed!
Your weekly vegetable package is the result of the collaboration of many participants from the Lekkernassûh community. In the past weeks, we’ve been struggling to get enough volunteers for the Wednesday market. Can you help out? Sign up using the market schedule.
Paying with Timebank hours
You can use your Timebank hours to pay for your vegetable package, but also, for example, cheese or products from the packaging-free store. You earn Timebank hours by, for example, helping on the market. Knowing more? Then look here.
Do you have a surplus of Timebank hours? Please spend them at the market or package-free shop, or (if you don’t manage to spend them all), please donate them to Lekkernassuh! Ater the summer, we have a big shortage of hours, because there are more going out than coming back in.
Package-free shop
The package-free shop is open every Saturday from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the Gymzaal. Longer opening hours call for more volunteers. Would you like to help sometime? Register via this link. More information about the store can be found here.
Don’t forget to change your status!
If you want to pick up a package on Wednesday, your subscription must be set to ACTIVE before Sunday evening 8 p.m. And if you don’t want a package on Wednesday, your subscription must be on PAUSE before Sunday evening 8 p.m. Help us prevent buying too much; together we prevent waste.
