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 …

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 …

I was told he needed suckers and a bigger head. Y’all’s wish is my command. He does look less cthuloid now.

Definitely rather grumpy, but if someone were holding me up by the back of the head I’d be grumpy too. But it’s ok. If he comes out looking too eldritch-horrorish, …

Several weeks ago, I tripped over the power brick to one of our laptops and hurt my toe. It wasn’t officially broken (that is, nothing on x-ray), but it changed size, shape, and color and was very hard to walk on. I didn’t feel like doing anything for a while after that, even if it …

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 …

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 …

I don’t really like to post things that aren’t finished, but considering how slowly I work, if I waited until everything was done and pretty to post about it, I’d probably never post anything that wasn’t about food. So, progress photo: I did part of this while watching a Rockies game, and about half at …
