Vegetables
Our new Wednesday routine involves picking up vegetables from our local CSA. We get a big box of local, organic veggies… and then I get to figure out how to eat them.
This week’s box had carrots, red onions, broccoli, fennel, beets, cabbage, summer squash, swiss and rainbow chard, garlic, and a big bunch of basil. (The box also had some kohlrabi in it, but I traded it for more swiss chard. Because I know how to cook greens, and I have no idea what to do with kohlrabi. But if anyone knows, I have one in my fridge from last week…. ) We also get eggs, and every other week a pound of coffee.
I really enjoy using vegetables that I wouldn’t usually think about, and it’s always fun to open the box and see what’s inside. The system would be almost perfect, if I just had some chickens to eat the scraps…
