Okay, perhaps the title overstates the truth but there could have been such a scenario. It’s not my job to come up with every permutation of possible life saving qualities of a grocery delivery service. I used to feel that the refrigerated truck idling on our block for what felt like hours and unconscionable amounts of packaging undercut their life-saving qualities, but in the words of Sarah Palin, the cause of global warming does not matter.
When that Fresh Direct truck would pull up to their door, my friend’s daughter, at a young 14 months or so, would point to it and say, “dinner.” And dinner it was. For in that truck lay the fixings for many meals, including some delicious pre-made creations like samosas and (half-frozen) parbaked bread, for those who like to “cook,” that is, who like to heat something up.
Fresh Direct is breaking out some new features for the wee ones like baby puree recipes, which brilliantly list all of the ingredients below the recipe for you to buy. There is also a “New Parent Survival Kit” which would seem a whole lot cheesier if it didn’t include beer.
Whew! I now have two $50 Fresh Direct gift certificates* on my hands, one for me and one for some lucky winner. Submit a comment to this post, content unimportant, by midnight on 10/14/08, and I will pick a winner at random and post it on 10/15/08. The winner will receive an email that includes the coupon code for the gift certificate, which must be used by 10/30/08.

Now, why do I feel so dirty??
also- FD has provided many jobs and even training for the formerly unemployable. While those who deliver do not have prison records, the folks in the plant are former drug offenders and are given a great fres start through fresh direct and for that i commend them!
