Cooking! It's fun and delicious. And what can be more fun than cooking with fresh, mystery ingredients? It's like every day is Iron Chef at our house. What am I talking about? Well, we joined a CSA, where 'local' (read that, not Chicago but not halfway across the country) farms contract with individuals to provide weekly (or in our case bi-weekly) deliveries of fresh produce.
Sheri at http://www.orangeparade.com/ has inspired me with her lovely food porn of her CSA deliveries to try the same myself. These shots are a little small, but I'm learning.
Colorful stuff:
Green onions
Baby Arugula, which used in salads and to justify my claim to eat babies.
Rhubarb, which I basically turned into candy in the form of Rhubarb Crisp.
Strawberries, which we just plain enjoyed.
Green leafy stuff:
Spinach and Kale, which we used in turnover thingies with feta and onions.

Lettuce
Chives, which I've snipped into salads and garnished pretty much everything with.
Sunflower Sprouts, which augmented the salads.
