CSA Week 4
This week it was:
Whole Wheat Pasta
Parsley Pasta
Green Garlic (not pictured, sorry!)
Kaboko Cabbage
Mustard greens
Kale
Collard Greens
Strawberries
Raw Milk Havarti
Red Sour Cherries
White Cherries
Beets (also not pictured)
The cherries are sooooo good. So are the strawberries. They taste so different that the ones you buy at the grocery store, so much more flavor.
I made an amazing soup with roasted red peppers, white beans, and used the collard greens along with lots of garlic and some couscous. I had no idea what I was doing but it turned out so good!

The bread they ran out of, the other two items they just missed, but they will be made up to me this week.
I made a salad from the lettuce and mizuna (which is really good!) and the radishes and bleu cheese. The chocolate mint has been chillin’ in my iced tea and its really yummy. The rhubarb I gifted to my neighbor. She loves it and I can’t stand the stuff, so I’m glad she could use it.
I also made a millet casserole and a wheatberry salad this weekend which both turned out pretty good! Oh, and some Samosa brownies (you know, like the ever-so-addictive girl scout cookies? Baby steps…
