It's hard to believe my last post was in 2010, when we had just moved to Boulder. We are now ending the school year next week and my youngest, who apparently was only in preschool, will be entering 4th grade next fall! Wow.
We rejoined a CSA this year. Not Abbondanza, but Red Wagon Farms, through Har HaShem and Bonai Shalom. I believe a portion goes to a Jewish fund of some sort. Our first pick up was last Thursday. We received:
2 bunches of kale (I traded with another family instead of taking arugula)
radishes
walking onions
green garlic
braising mix (greens)
mint
Today, Friday, I took a cooking class from Purnima with LeAnne and came home with 5 different meals plus chapati. After sharing some with Kelly at the pool, I reserved the rest for our dinner - yum! After 2+ hours of swimming, the kids had playdates in the basement while I prepped and planned. I plan to bake kale chips with one batch and make an egg bake with kale with the other batch. I brined 1/2 the radishes into radish pickles and sliced the others to make the typical French radishes on buttered toast snakc. The onions and garlic were cleaned, trimmed, chopped, and put into jars in the fridge. The larger walking onions are prepped for grilling tomorrow. I plan to saute the braising mix tomorrow once the homemade turkey stock defrosts. And the mint I popped into a jar of water and we pulled off quite a bit today with our first mojitos of the season!
I hope the new CSA will reignite my love for cooking simple, local foods.
