Veggies June 25, 2009

I’ve joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) this year. We got our first box last Thursday. Lots of lettuce. Really good, but a lot. I have made quite a few good salads, of course. Here is one from this morning:

CSA lettuce, arugula, and grapes, tomatoes, and poached egg, rhubarb and ginger muffin

I also made a great cabbage salad that I haven’t made in years.  I made it all the time when I was in grad school and I completely forgot about it.   It’s great.

yellow and orange peppers, red cabbage, CSA bok choi and scallions, peas, tempeh, cilantro, rice noodles, and chili lime dressing

Okay.  I think that I’m going to have to do some great planning if I’m going to be successful with comsuming all these veggies.  Here’s what I’m thinking for this week.  We receieved tatsoi in the box this week.  It’s  a green that looks like big spoons, I guess.  I found this recipe that looks good. I also think I’ll make a spinach frittata. Perhaps I’ll also make some zucchini bread or grilled zucchini.

On the knitting front, I’ve been making tons of hats:
