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. [...]

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 [...]

I just peeled the carrots, then kept using the peeler to make strips of carrot: [...]

First, the goods: -3 ears corn -1 cucumber -1 japanese eggplant -1 pound….beans -1 bunch lovely small leeks -1 enormous heirloom tomato -1 bunch sage -1 pound red potatoes So shortly before I picked up the bag full of goodness, I read that article in the NYTimes food section about slow-cooked green beans. And then [...]

Whee! August! -1 huge bunch cavolo nero -3 onions -1 head amazing juicy fresh garlic -2 green peppers -5 carrots, white, yellow and orange -1 ear corn -1 bunch fresh oregano -3 tomatoes -3 small hot peppers The very day I got this bag of treats, Germi commented about a long-cooked cavolo nero at Suzanne [...]

Ingredients: 1 japanese eggplant, cut into chunks (quartered lengthwise and chopped) 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 anchovy Copious garlic, minced Chopped basil Salt/Pepper Olive oil Penne Wheee, summer!
