CSA Week 2

Our second share. We did pretty good with the first, using all of the lettuce and arugula in salads, along with the sprouts. The spinach and kale pies were good, though they ended up having way more kale than spinach. Oddly, it was the most common ingredient (for us) that ended up going to waste -- we never found a use for the green onions.

It's still the season for leafy, green stuff, and here's a bunch of it.

Lettuce: Red Leaf and Little Gem. It's truly outrageous.

Cabbage: The first time we had to resist tossing something in the share bin before tasting it. Not something we traditionaly would seek out, but that's the point, right? We will probably try some form of slaw.

Kale: Destined for another spinach, kale, and feta pie.

Rainbow Chard: I think you need more than two colors to be considered "rainbow", but nobody asked me. Another one we're not sure what to do with, but we'll probably try subbing it for spinach a few places. Had some in an omelette (with mushrooms, CSA onions, and cheese) and it was pretty tasty.

We're also moving into the non-leafy green stuff season, which is good because a man can only eat so much salad.


New Red Potatoes: Well you wouldn't want old ones, would you?

Broccoli

Mini Red Onions: We'll probably just sub these for normal onions, and use them on salads.

Garlic Scapes

Parsley

Black Raspberries
