snap peas, turnips, chard kale, radishes, fava beans garlic scapes, bok choy Last week’s loot (I’m so behind) from Isabelle Farm CSA. I don’t like greens or radishes, but the scapes got sauteed up with butter and chicken very similar to last time, and the turnips are destined for a roast or maybe soup. The …

csa: october 6

Not much this week. Kale, cauliflower, spinach, green onions, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, a kohlrabi. A giant kohlrabi. That’s a full-size can of Coke. The kohlrabi is That. Big. Really, like the size of a head. Maybe not my head, but certainly a child’s head. Big enough to wear a hat. Or many hats.

Cabbage, green onion, peppers, beet, kohlrabi, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce. Barely seen: lots of cilantro and parsley. What does one do with lots of parsley? Make tabbouleh!

I know. It’s October. And I’m posting about two-week-old food. At least it still looks tasty. Lettuce, kale, potatoes, peppers, corn, cilantro, parsley, cabbage, daikon. I think there’s a kohlrabi in there somewhere too. Yeah. Daikon. What the heck am I supposed to do with a daikon? I don’t like radishes, but these are supposed …

carrots and cucumbers

We started getting carrots from the CSA a few weeks ago– not very large, but tender and sweet. Good snacking carrots, even if there weren’t that many of them. But what we didn’t get in carrots, we got in dill. Lots of dill. Fortunately, cookable carrots are cheap at the grocery store, so I made …

a csa catchup

mia September 19, 2010October 11, 2010 2

This is actually a csa loot from last month. I’m really behind. Among other things, there’s a kohlrabi in there, up in the top left corner. Let’s talk about that kohlrabi.

csa: SPUTNIK!

mia August 18, 2010August 18, 2010 5

Last week’s) loot was pretty standard; green beans, squash, kale, green onions, corn, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage. And this thing . . . It’s a SPUTNIK! No, actually, it’s a kohlrabi. Which is, apparently, in the cabbage family along with the broccolis and kales and cabbages and cauliflowers and other stuffs. It only looks like some …

csa august 4: more damn zucchini, and beets!

mia August 14, 2010August 17, 2010 8

Greenbeans, zucchini, yellow squash, lettuce, radishes, green onions, beets. We got a lot of zucchini this week. And I . . . am not a fan of zucchini. It’s not too bad when it’s raw and young, but there’s something about the texture of cooked zucchini that I find off-putting. Yellow squash I don’t mind …

sour cherries and squash

mia August 4, 2010August 4, 2010 3

I think it’s finally time to talk about the cherries. I’ve resisted writing about them, because it’s kind of embarrassing. But we all have to own up to our mistakes and let them be learning experiences, so here’s mine. Laurie, our CSA pickup-site hostess, has a pie-cherry tree in her backyard. They got ripe and …
