Bruins game 1, CSA week 2. It is nights like this where I wish I had a tv in my kitchen, or could do veggie prep from the couch!
Week 1, how did I do? This blog definitely keeps me honest about my veggie intake. It also leads me to do strange things like a late night spinach and green garlic saute and/or attempt to create radish roses (just kidding about the radish rose part). It takes me awhile to eat radishes since I just add them to salads.
- Mixed greens: 100% (as in 100% gone)
- Lettuce: 100%
- Spinach: 100% (sauteed up with some green garlic)
- Strawberries: 100%
- Green garlic: 33% (the rest is chopped and ready to use)
- Radishes: 20%
- Gilfeather: 0% (no inspiration yet…)
I wonder how all of this rain will affect our shares. The farm posted this to Facebook yesterday, “Almost 2 inches of rain overnight. Hey sky, turn off the tap!”. I agree, enough with the rain already!
Week 2 brings lots of greens – mixed greens, lettuce, spinach, and Russian kale. Apparently Russian kale is like regular kale except it cooks faster. Since I typically like all things Russian, I’m sure that I will like it just fine ;). Last year at this time, we got beets, carrots, broccoli, and cabbage instead of kohlrabi and turnips.

Btw, our CSA coordinator this year is awesome! She is super organized and I love the addition of the “swap box” (you can leave items you don’t want, and take something else from the box in return).
