Since my cooking was pretty patchy and my posting even patchier as the end of the year drew nigh, I’m just going to post the last three mondo Winter CSA Share allotments all at once. Most of this stuff stores well; I have loads of potatoes, onions, garlic and squash in the pantry, and the [...]

Ok, so it’s happened again. I am weeks behind and I blame technology, even though I settled the root problem weeks ago. Ahem. Basically I hadn’t uploaded photos since I left my job at the end of October. …Happy December! Right. I am remedying that. Meanwhile, um… There was a lot of eating last week. [...]

So many carrots. But first, the week’s haul: -1 butternut squash -1 head of cabbage -3 leeks -3 hot peppers -4 white potatoes -3 daikon radishes -1 bunch arugula -Carrots. At this point the carrots were starting to panic me. I had received them most weeks since august, and while we’d tried to eat carrot [...]

Once again, unrelated produce and recipe contents. The goods: -Popcorn!! Currently curing on the wall. Apparently you can put an ear in a paper bag in the microwave and it will all. pop. off. This is unspeakably exciting to me.) -2 white, 1 purple turnip -Assorted peppers -1 small bunch kale -1 sad, sad little [...]

So once it’s been actual weeks between posts, it starts getting harder and harder to write. Especially because a lot has happened in real life lately, and I haven’t really been focused on food. But ONWARD. I will post some short little recap things to get back in the swing of things. Here’s what I [...]

Sigh, the recipe in the post has nothing to do with any of the veggies I received that week. But here they are, for the record: -1 pound potatoes -1 pound carrots (STOP THE MADNESS) -1 acorn squash (with unnoticed damage; it rotted within a week, agh!) -1 bunch purple basil -1 head lettuce -1 [...]

-1 bunch arugula (still very ratty) -1 bag mixed greens -1 large kohlrabi -1/2 lb. edamame -3 Carmen peppers (an heirloom bell variety) -Handful dodgy cherry tomatoes -2 asian pears -1 bunch dill -3 onions I had to play catch-up, and I ended up mostly cooking with the previous week’s produce while doing my best [...]

MMmmmm: -1 bunch kale -1/2 lb fresh edamame (!) -1 lb carrots -3 bell peppers (yellow and red) -1 delicata squash -1 bunch parsley -1 bunch slightly motheaten arugula -1 pound assorted small tomatoes -1 head garlic We are facing a major produce pile-up in the fridge, or we were (I took care of some [...]

OMG, you guys. First of all, I’m only 1 week behind once I finish this post! But more important to note is that this is my biggest PSA post ever. I almost got pretty badly hurt but lucked out and am just fine, so READ ON to find out how not to be a jackass. [...]

[Argh, until I work out a solution please imagine another third of each photo off to the right. Annoying.] The goods: -3 ears corn (I cut off the kernels and froze them) -1 delicata squash (!!) -3 bell peppers, red, yellow and purple -1 lb orange carrots -2 onions -1 ginormous yellow tomato -1 regular-sized [...]
