CSA 2012 Week 1 (finally)

Boy I had big plans to actually be on top of things this year. I was going to be get these posts out quickly, link recipes, the works! Yeah, not so much. Life has been very busy lately, so here I am five weeks in and totally behind. I am going to do a quick dump to where we are now, then hopefully be better about keeping up going forward. We are doing Nichols Farm again this year, which is the one we did last year. We did nix the fruit share, and have been buying what we want (i.e. not 100 pounds of apples) at the Farmer's Market. With the weather being so bonkers this year, it's a bit of a mystery what we'll be getting when, so it's like a whole new adventure!

Green onions Snap peas Arugula Red beets Mizuna is a fancy looking, slightly bitter salad green. We planed our own lettuce this year in a fit of madness, so we started out behind the eightball on salads. Potatoes which they store year to year (new potatoes come later.)

Kohlrabi We really don't recall them sending much Lettuce last year, but this time we got it right away. Spinach We have fully embraced the cooking of radishes. It cuts their heat a bit and makes them taste a bit more like a turnip. Green garlic
