CSA Week 8

The last few weeks were pretty good for the CSA. We roasted the beets with some salt and pepper. I found them quite tasty, but Mary would have prefered them with some more, non-beet stuff mixed in. The Frisee got used a bit in salad, though we've been doing other vegetables so we didn't manage to use it all.

I had every intention of making Kohlrabi with Honey Butter sauce -- How can anything with Honey Butter sauce be bad -- but we managed to have the head of kohlrabi go soft before we got around to doing it. Oh well, there's always next year.




Butternut Squash and Delicata Squash will likely get prepared in similar ways. Roasted, probably.

Wee Bee Little Pumpkins are too cute to eat! I lie, we're eating em -- Eff cute. We're thinking pumpkin muffins made from real pumpkin rather than the can. Weird!

Radicchio is another of Mary's nemesis, again for it's bitterness. It's actually quite nice mixed in with salads, since it's not the dominant flavor there.

Another vegetable we have dreaded is Cauliflower. Mary and cauliflower have a dark history, but she's managed to find a recipe for roasting it that will at least allow us to get through the small head we have.

A few different varieties of Hot Peppers which will likely get used in pasta sauce and or chopped and mixed into corn muffins for a side to Chili.

A Shallot and a few of what appears to be Oddly Shaped Red Onions.

Mushrooms

Lucious Dessert Pears

Parsley is apparently always in season.

Celeriac The only time I have ever seen this used was once on Iron Chef. If Dr. Hatori can't beat Morimoto with it, what chance do I have? Mary foud a recipe for a potato and celeriac cake that sounds pretty good, so we'll probably do that. We already used the celerey part in the cavity of a roasted chicken.
