CSA Farm Share 2011: Week 3

[surrealestate]

I've got everything I need for kimchi except the cabbage! Anyone with a different share get any cabbage (ideally Napa) and want to trade?

• 2 bunches Golden Beets (with greens)
• 2 bunches Asian Turnips (with greens)
• 2 heads Red Leaf Lettuce
• 2 bunches Carrots (yellow)
• 2 bunches Scallions
• 2 bunches Kohlrabi (with greens)
• 2 bunches Kale
• 1 lb Sugar Snap Peas
  = ~22.5#

As will hopefully become a habit, we cooked something using lots of the greens last night: peanut stew using the kohlrabi and turnip greens, as well as fava tendrils from last week. Which made for a huge amount even without the beet greens or kale. Helps everything fit in the fridge, anyway, and nummy. I also put in some of the carrots as well as previously-put-by jalapeño peppers, winter squash, and broth from the freezer.

No other preservation updates since last night's post. :)

Rats, I have some/lots of chinese cabbage, but am not planing on being anywhere near you til sometime next week... any chance you can come out here tomorrow am?

Alas, no. Even a drive there is a bit of a project, but also have a support group meeting in the morning. I'll probably still welcome it next week, though. :)

I WANT MY TOMATOES!!!

You'll get them! The plant already has little baby green tomatoes the size of peas, and they're growing every day. A few weeks and they'll be ready for ya! I grew them on your suggestion from last year. :-)

You should see the size of this plant. I only bought a single sprout, and good thing, because it's now the size of a bush. Also growing pickling cukes. There is no cuter vegetable than an infant cucumber. :-)

We have an arrowhead cabbage we're unlikely to use, but we're also headed out of town tomorrow. Next time, maybe.

Have a great trip!

(We just did our first trip with the little guy, which also happened to be camping.)

Oops. Trouble with that is the peas were so yummy that we've been snacking on them raw since pick-up and, uh...
