We return to Thursday’s exhaustive chronicling of the contents of the Live Earth Farm CSA box. Now with a tablecloth background! I made strawberry jam on Monday, and promptly gave it all away. I’ll make more with these, although it will mean buying more jars. It really struck me today just how good LEF strawberries [...]
I don’t have time this evening to individually photograph the contents of the box, so here’s what the CSA pickup in Willow Glen looks like. We’re not actually supposed to get there early, but I saw the truck arrive, and decided to wait out of the way while they unloaded. Local members graciously allow the [...]
Thursday again! I’ll admit up front that I was supposed to take 8 baskets of strawberries, and I only took two. Lots of really pretty lettuce this week. The red oak leaf is a very dark purple. I need to eat more salads. I love salads, so you wouldn’t think that would be a problem. [...]
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.

Thursday already? Let’s see what I got this week. Only one basket of strawberries. These will go quickly; about 1/3 of them got et up for dinner. Half dozen eggs, in the new TLC Ranch packaging! Like a real egg carton, and everything! Evidently, they don’t have too many of these, though. In this week’s [...]
It’s Thursday afternoon, again, time to see what goodies Live Earth Farm has sent in the box this week. Now that I’ve blogged this way for a whole, week, it’s time, too, to see how well I used up last week’s box. Lettuce and dandelion greens, and then baby tatsoi. I made a Big Salad [...]
Thursdays are Live Earth Farm CSA days, so I picked up my box this afternoon. Let’s see what’s inside! First we have two baskets of strawberries. LEF specializes in strawberries, so CSA members get quite a few of them. I’ve signed up for the extra fruit share, and later in the summer, I will be [...]
