I had to work at the bakery, then drive straight to school to run a parade rehearsal, so Mike was in charge of picking up this week’s share. I was excited to come home in the evening to a box of produce on my counter, to sort through, bag up, and ponder. There were a few different things this week, but the majority is still green – not that I mind!

• basil – approx. 2 cups
• Russian kale – 1 head – big leaves, reddish (last week’s was curly kale)
• radishes – 4 small, little ones – at least now I know what they look like so I know when to harvest them in my garden
• head lettuce
• swiss chard
• kohlrabi – 1 bulb, purple
• garlic scapes – yeah buddy!!!!!

I have decided to start keeping a list on my fridge of all the CSA produce we get, in an attempt to do our best to make sure we don’t waste any, which I admittedly have a habit of doing. I do have some good ideas, though, for a few of these vegetables, so that helps already!

My parents & younger brother will be coming in for a visit at the end of the week and will be staying for a few days, so my goal is to be able to use these ingredients while still entertaining them. I don’t think it will be too difficult 🙂

Week 2’s box

Question of the Day: Have you tried garlic scapes? What do you think of them?
