Oh, the week when the CSA share starts containing more things that aren’t leafy greens is a wonderful week indeed! But before I get to all that: What I Did With Week 3: My ability to remember what I’ve been cooking has left me this week. I do know there was kohlrabi curry, steamed collards… Continue reading What I Did & What I Got #3
I get Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move” stuck in my head a lot. I think it has something to do with the rhythm of my dishwasher’s rinse cycle. Anyway, I hate that song with a burning passion. Would you like to know why? OK, I’ll tell you! Aside from the banality of the… Continue reading The One With The Jam Plan
What I Did With Week 2: Thursday night was our traditional CSA pickup day breakfast for dinner – bacon and eggs with strawberries and dandelion greens (everything from the share except the bacon). Friday night: baked greens (great fridge-cleaner recipe from the weekly CSA preview e-mail that allowed me to use up the turnip greens… Continue reading What I Did & What I Got # 2 & A Real Live Knitting Update
We’re up to the second CSA pickup of the Summer and just like last year at this time I’m already so, so happy we spent the money. So far we’ve gotten 2 items we didn’t get last year from the same farm, so I’m feeling good about the variety. And just like last year, this… Continue reading What I Did & What I Got
After two seasons of CSA food, I have a really hard time buying produce at the grocery store. It just doesn’t taste as good and the price seems ridiculous. I’m fortunate enough that I can afford and have access to amazing produce between the CSA programs and farmers markets in my area, so for the… Continue reading Trying Something New
…for I have so much food to blog about. Last week’s CSA share had beets, bok choy (I made fried rice!), tatsoi, 2 summer squash, 5 grilling eggplants, 3 cucumbers, 2 white & 1 red onion, new potatoes, and 2 heads of lettuce. Oh, and basil. Purple basil. You know what purple basil means? It… Continue reading More Food Blogging…
There’s been working and cooking, and migraines and sleeping, and days out with friends, and a body finished and half a sleeve knit. And not a single post about it on the blog. So, let’s catch up. I missed you. The CSA program is still amazing and impressing me every week. I’ve started buying extra… Continue reading It’s Been A Long Few Weeks
The CSA program has begun! I received 6 baby bok choy, 1 bunch of turnips, 1 bunch of radishes, about a pound each of kale and swiss chard, 4 bulbs of spring garlic, 3 heads of lettuce (1 red leaf, 2 green leaf), and almost a pound of popcorn from last Fall’s harvest. I’d say,… Continue reading Oh, yummy.

I’ve been doing some prep work before pick-ups start for the CSA share I purchased for this summer. I’m told I’ll be getting enough produce every week to feed 2-4 people, and there are only 2 of us, so I got a copy of Mark Bittman’s How To Cook Everything Vegetarian to make sure I… Continue reading Only Edible Finished Objects Today
