Check out this week’s haul…
Tomato and arugula
Sometimes, I find arugula overpowering, but this is wonderful stuff. I’m currently cooking down the tomato with some garlic, olive oil, and wine. Tonight, we’re going to have tomato, arugula, and goat cheese pizza. (more…)

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 so glad I did. It added a crisp, fresh taste to the mix.
I don’t think the dressing was as important to the salad as the ingredients, but here’s what I’ve been using so far.
Herb-mustard vinaigrette
Mix up
1/8 cup white wine vinegar
1/8 cup white vinegar (I ran out of white wine vinegar.)
3 tbsp water
1 tsp dried herbes de Provence
1 tsp ground mustard
Then add
½ cup canola oil
Mix again, chill, and serve.
You could also add some honey to make it a little sweeter. (But I don’t think the Bordeaux needs it.)
I found this great little beaker for making dressing on clearance at Tuesday Morning. It has recipes on the side, but they seem awfully oily to me.

The pre-season subscription is 3 deliveries every other week from mid-January till March. Because it’s supposed to last two weeks, there’s more stuff. Instead of a bag, we picked up two boxes today! I am very, very happy to have some produce to play with again.
Here’s what was in our boxes.
Oops – forgot the eggs! (more…)
