CSA 2009: final share

October 28th, 2009

Please excuse the remnants of dinner on the table in this photo. (Ravioli cooked with tomato sauce, onions, and peppers in the Crock Pot, by the way. It was really good!) Yesterday afternoon I picked up our final CSA share for the season. I was disappointed we didn’t get any butternut squash (I’d been hoping [...]

CSA 2009: Tenth Share

October 1st, 2009

It became apparent to me on Tuesday that winter is on the way. Yes, I know that fall just started, but already it feels blustery. As I was picking the tomatillos, I was actually shivering — my light sweater was not cutting it. I think we probably have two more bi-weekly shares left.
Nevertheless, a great [...]

CSA 2009: Ninth Share

September 15th, 2009

I was desperate for this week’s share because we ran out of lettuce sometime on Friday. Alas, only one head this week. But it’s pretty big. We also had 1 1/4 lbs. of greens coming our way so I divided it up between arugula and mixed Asian greens. The rest: three squash (I have no [...]

September 2nd, 2009

This is one of those weeks where I am really glad (again) that we chose the bi-weekly option. Wow, look at all of that! (And by the way, I never did post the photo of our 7th share — we were busy getting our stuff together for NC. It was similar to the 6th.)
Anyway, I [...]

CSA 2009: Sixth Share

August 6th, 2009

Finally, a Tuesday when it didn’t rain! Farm share day has become my little escape. I go by myself and become immersed in the colors, the sights, and the scents of the farm. When I drove over to the field to gather the PYO goodies, I was the only person there (I went especially early [...]

CSA 2009: Fifth Share

July 22nd, 2009

Yesterday was a rainy, rainy day so unfortunately my photo of the beautiful farm share we received this week doesn’t do it justice. We got more escarole (I don’t think they planted this last year), two heads of lettuce, swiss chard, summer squash, carrots, onions, dill, basil, green beans, and garlic. I plan to use [...]

CSA 2009: Fourth Share

July 8th, 2009

Such a bounty this week! Two heads of lettuce, escarole, kale, a bunch of carrots, basil, an onion, scallions, broccoli, yellow summer squash and garlic scapes. Also PYO flowers. Dishes I see in our future include beans & greens and Indian-spiced kale & chick peas. Of course, we’ll also have some great salads this week [...]
