We return to Thursday’s exhaustive chronicling of the contents of the Live Earth Farm CSA box. Now with a tablecloth background!<\/p>\n

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 are. They’re always dead ripe (never any white shoulders or cores) and have the sweetest, most perfumed flavor. Yes, I know that’s why I’m part of the CSA, but it’s possible to get used to anything, and I needed to step back and appreciate what I have.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It looks like even more than eight baskets in this big tub, I think. Next is a quite manageable selection of greens.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

especially when one bunch is flat-leaf parsley. With the parsley, I’ll probably make a simple pasta with lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. The lettuce will be a salad (I promise) and I really want to try making crispy kale chips<\/a>, especially since I still have a container of greens cooked with bacon and onion in the fridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More greens (with a red.) I’ve been stir-frying my baby bok choy with scallions, ginger, beaten egg and soy sauce, and I think I’ll keep at it. The fennel and the radicchio ask me to grill them<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and the yellow zucchini are up for it, too. That’s the kind of meal that needs extra people to eat it, so either for Veggielution or friends over here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Carrots go in the carrot bag, which is full enough to do something with now, and onions and garlic will go in whatever I’m cooking.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, a half bag of broccoli (which makes a full bag in the fridge) and some nice oyster mushrooms. I might be able to get away with grilling them, otherwise I may add them to the bok choy stir fry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
