CSA Winter Share 1

Winter share! Last time we did a winter share, we were buried under a pile of potatoes, had our car break down and lock us out at the pickup site in freezing temperatures when we had no coats, and discovered that we are incapable of eating two pounds of novelty cheese a month. What adventures does this year hold? Tune in to find out.

I am going to attempt to mix it up this time through and actually link in recipes where I can. We'll see how long that lasts.

More cabbage, this time in the form of an oddly shaped savoy cabbage. You can't really tell here, but it's very flat and wide. No idea what we will do with it, having just come off the six pound napa last week. This garlic has been added to the garlic chain in the closet. Though we still have a dozen or more heads in there, I do feel like we are going through it at a fair clip. We will probably use this zamboni rapini to keep our ice rink nice and smooth. We may also make some winter green pizza with it, a favorite recipe of ours. No specific plans for this arugula, so it'll probably end up in salad. I tossed these sweet onions into my onion bin, so hopefully they aren't that much different than the other half dozen varieties we have in there.

The very first time we got Brussels sprouts we tried roasting, and didn't much care for them. Now that we know that there are good preparations of them, we're going back to that well. Radishes for salad and snacking. More potatoes. More lettuce. Still odd to be getting so much so late. Oh apples. Apples, apples, apples. So much for getting fewer from the non-fruit shared winter share. We plan to make a new recipe for apple sauce this week, so we'll see how that goes. We are also taking advantage of fresh cranberries to clear out some pears from the apple drawer in the form of pear cranberry pie.
