Finally, up to date on CSA posts! pickup was tuesday the 10th – so I’m only 2 days behind. not too bad.
spinach, onions, 1 head lettuce, english peas, white turnips/radish, cilantro, broccoli.
now, I have to admit – when I started putting this stuff away I was in the depths of despair. HOW could I be SO FAR BEHIND when I was only on week 4? and then today when I looked through the photos I realized that I am on week 5! which makes more sense!
I sorted out all the old lettuce – I had heads in there from wks 2 and 3. THREE HEADS. so I washed and ate 2 1/2 heads of lettuce with trader joes green curry tuna on top. kind of a wilted lettuce salad. I had to toss the mizuna from wk 3. such an early failure! sigh. Today I ate the last of the blueberries – I gave away 4 pints but ate the other 8 pints myself (SO GOOD).
so this leaves me with:
wk 1 oregano (keeping pretty well in the fridge in a glass of water with it’s parsley and cilantro friends)
wk 2 white radishes, parsley, frisee (you can only eat so much of this at a time… I’m working my way through it!)
wk 3 white radish or turnip, broccoli,
wk 4 kohlrabi, cilantro, 2 heads of garlic, sugar snap peas, white turnips
I plan to cook the broccoli and kohlrabi tonight. I need to figure out what to do with those turnips/radishes/whatever. I think they’re meant for eating raw, because they’re SALAD turnips. maybe if I grate them and mix with something salady? or maybe I could slice them thinly and dress with an acidic dressing… sort of salad pickle. I’ll fiddle around with them at home. Tonight I am going to cook all the broccoli and make a cheese sauce to eat it with. I love broccoli and cheese, and if that is wrong, then I sure don’t want to be right.
YAY KARINA!!!!!
