I felt pretty good about the emptiness of the vegetable drawer in my refrigerator today, but perhaps that’s because most of the goods we got last week weren’t that bulky. I had a party to go to last weekend and decided to use the spinach from this week and last week to make a spinach dip (recipe coming soon). Here’s how I did this week:
- Strawberries: 100%
- Mesclun mix: 100%
- Spinach: 100%
- Lettuce: 75%
- Pickling cucumbers: 50%
- Broccoli: 50%
- Carrots: 50%
- Garlic scapes: 50%
- Collards: 0%
- Thyme: 0%
This week most of my veggies are going on a field trip to Bay Shore to celebrate the Fourth of July! Happy birthday America! This is the first week I took advantage of the “swap box” and traded in a purple kohlrabi for an extra head of lettuce to take to NY. Sadly it is probably the last week we will get strawberries…we only got a pint and they were super ripe so I just ate them as soon as I got home.

It was nice to see Napa cabbage as I love my Napa salad recipe. Not as nice to start seeing zucchini and summer squash already…probably my least favorite vegetables, but over the years we have developed a mutual tolerance of each other.
