This week I made a quick trip to North Carolina to visit some college friends. And I got to have some pretty fantastic fried chicken at one of Ashley Christensen’s restaurants in Raleigh. We went to Beasley’s Chicken + Honey for lunch, which opened at 11:30. I got there at 11:20 and there was a large crowd waiting outside the restaurant to get in. No food pictures…I was too busy eating!
For being away for the weekend, I did ok with my veg consumption for the week.
- Basil: 100% made pesto and froze it
- Blueberries: 100%
- Lettuce: 90%
- Radicchio: 90% (that tiny little head was super bitter)
- Carrots: 25%
- Onions: 10%
- Zucchini: 0%
- Cucumber: 0%
This week felt more like a normal share, though last year at this time we were already getting peaches. I’m not complaining, I love the blueberries…and we got a watermelon this week (always reminds me of Dirty Dancing, “I carried a watermelon”). I traded my Japanese eggplant for two extra ears of corn.

I am excited for the first corn and tomatoes of the season. I picked up some fresh mozzarella to have with the tomato and basil.
