It's Been Awhile

CSA boxes start arriving next week!

Can we get a Yay? Maybe a Meep?

Ok, so we have taken a small hiatus from posting, but we are all excited about our upcoming summer of fresh, local produce. Today I finally got around to the most rewarding bit of spring cleaning - emptying the fridge and freezer. I even finally got off all the frozen blue goo from the ice cream cake we had the first summer we lived here - four years ago! I am now ready for an influx of...greens?

Yep, greens.

The first few weeks of a CSA can be frustrating, especially for first-year members. It seems that all you are getting are boxes of green leaves (Kale! Oh the Kale! Dinosaur, green, purple!). This can be the hardest time of the year to make the most of your box as few of us have enough recipes to really make use of these greens. We will try to post recipes using early spring vegetables as often as possible.

Projects for the week: clean out the fridge of any miscellaneous remnants of the winter (I had 4, count them, 4 boxes with small amounts of stock/broth left, two cans of extremely moldy tomato paste and a soy sauce mixture for sushi that I am fairly sure was spawning); gather any frozen stock and find recipes to use them in (look for these on our site soon); and make sure check with your CSA to find the exact date, time and location of your first pickup!
