CSA Box

Ustedes saben que significa el jueves…¡la caja de legumbres!

It’s one of those boxes that makes even a fan of produce take a deep breath. First, since I signed up for the extra fruit share,

eight baskets of strawberries! (And eggs of course.) I don’t know what I’ll be doing with these, to be honest, although I’m going to try to have friends over for Memorial Day and feed them.

Next up, greens,

greens,

greens!

OK, there are fava beans in that third photo. Two heads of lettuce, collards, dandelion greens and bok choi, and bagged baby spinach, baby arugula and fava beans.

Finally, the bulbous stuff:

Those are truly enormous fennel bulbs, red onions, avocados (yay!) and radishes.

I have to say that I’m at a loss planning for these right now. As I type, I’m cooking the bag of greens from Veggielution (or, rather, a healthy fraction of the leaves, stripped of the stems) with bacon and onion, and I’m planning to grill a piece of the lamb loin I brought back from Avedano’s. How about an interim post later this week, once I wrap my head around it all? At least I got everything in the fridge.
