I did pick up my box last week, although I didn’t blog about it. This week’s box is the usual late summer wonderfulness, with two extra-wonderful treats: a watermelon and green chickpeas!
That’s a lot of wonderfulness, no? Clockwise from the bottom, we have: apples, raspberries, butter lettuce, basil, collards, Early Girl tomatoes, peppers, red cabbage, […]
Today’s CSA box, reveling in late summer, looks like the illustration for a children’s book about colors.
We have (clockwise from top left) sweet peppers, red onions, spicy peppers, radishes, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes and eggplant. The latter are cooking even as I type in a sauce for spaghetti alla Norma, since I won’t actually get to […]
When biking Los Gatos Creek Trail, I ride by an enormous avocado tree. As avocado trees do, it has heavy years and light years. This year is a heavy year.
I gleaned the ones from the sidewalk, not the overhanging limbs, and I still got quite a few.
Today’s CSA box came with baskets of small, soft […]
This morning, we had a very special episode of Village Harvest, gleaning almost a ton of Italian prune plums from the Guadalupe Historic Orchard. This is one of my favorite places we go every year (they come thick and fast at the end of the summer) and we also enjoyed the best volunteer group evar, […]
The nice thing about not having bought any food in San José for two weeks is that my fridge had plenty of room for today’s CSA box.
Clockwise from bottom right we have: eggs, strawberries, white onions, potatoes (in the bag) carrots, bagged broccoli, bagged arugula, radishes, bagged spinach, baby bok choi , butter lettuce, bagged […]
I had tried to do this whole post on my iPhone, before coming home, but I was foiled by flickr’s refusal to supply the URL for photos to its mobile version.
Anyway. I myself am going to be on the move for most of next week, so I left most of my CSA box to the […]
I know I have no one but myself to blame for the torrent of fruit rushing through my kitchen, but it’s still pretty amazing. You may recall that I signed up for the extra fruit option in the CSA, although I can’t think of why just now. So I had a box of fruit (and […]
Thursday again! My pick up time is now earlier, so I have slightly better light for my photos, although today I’m in kind of a hurry, so my food styling is not up to even its normal poor standard.
Those are raspberries in the little box, and plums and apricots in the bag. I confess that […]
And strawberry ice cream. That’s what I’m currently making to take to the Veggielution cookout this evening.
But what is in the box this week, you ask? Well, let’s see.
Clockwise from lower left: Eggs, cilantro, dill, kale, romaine, nappa cabbage, carrots, green beans, potatoes, zucchini (round and grey), cucumber, garlic. Red oak leaf lettuce in the […]
Here is a group shot of this week’s veggies. (Click through if you’re really into it.)
Clockwise from left: Onions, round zucchini, grey zucchini, garlic, carrots, radicchio, collards, cilantro, kale, lettuce, cucumber . Not pictured: strawberries and eggs.
The kale chips last week were a huge hit, although, if you’re going to use the same recipe, then […]
