I tried making kale crisps again according to this recipe. They did not turn out well. The only thing they had going for them was the salt. The rest tasted like burnt, kale-flavored tissue paper. It’s possible that I’m using younger kale than the recipe calls for. That might explain the burnt results even after [...]

Spinach salad

So I’ve made a couple of spinach salads now. Thursday night was the best one: Bordeaux spinach, sliced green onions (white ends), sliced daikons, parsley, and salad burnet with a mustard-y vinaigrette. Here’s a pic. The salad burnet was really nice addition. I don’t like cucumbers so I was hesitant to try it, but I’m [...]

My reasons for joining Farmers’ Fresh Produce fall into two categories: food and community. In this post, I’ll address the food reasons. Nutrition You get a variety of seasonal vegetables that you might not have eaten otherwise. I have definitely eaten more and a larger variety of produce this year thanks to my CSA bag. [...]
A nice supper and biscotti
Posted in CSA reports, Farmers Fresh CSA, tagged biscotti, butternut squash, fish, vegetable soup on January 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
A CSA Supper Today we had a CSA supper thanks to our last butternut squash and some defrosted mushroom pasta. (That’s parmesan cheese on the top.)
