This week my veggies took a field trip to NY, where they joined forces with the veggies from my parent’s CSA (The Farm at St. Peter’s). I also realized that I *like* summer squash when it’s grilled or camouflaged with scrambled eggs. The only thing that came back to Boston with me was one head of lettuce that we didn’t use.
- Cucumbers: 100% (salads)
- Onions: 100%
- Summer squash: 100% (so much better on the grill!)
- Swiss chard: 100% (sautéed with garlic scapes)
- Garlic scapes: 100% (chopped fine and used to marinate chicken and steak before grilling, also used with Swiss chard)
- Lettuce: 0%
- Parsley: 100%
- Strawberries: 100%
When I went to pick up the share on the 4th, it was definitely a “holy moly” week, as in “holy moly that’s a lot of veggies!”

I knew that I wouldn’t be able to use all of this so my CSA partner actually took all of the kale, as well as my head of cabbage and my share of the zucchini and summer squash. I must admit, I wasn’t too sad to see the zucchini and summer squash go to a more loving home.
