CSA Farm Share 2011: Week 5

[surrealestate]

As soon as I saw this week's selections, I thought to myself, "coconut curry!" And thus an awesome Thai red was made last night. In an attempt to be proactive and have even more leftovers handy, I also put all the beets (along with the remaining carrots and some kohlrabi) into another shredded salad. Damn, but I love that salad. Or slaw. Whatever. And I steamed down all the greens for later use. It's funny how at a glance, it seems like there were no leafy greens this week, but as always, the beet & turnip tops were so voluminous and lovely, it's like extra bonus veggies.

Now I want to make the Baitcon red cabbage slaw, whose recipe will hopefully come my way sometime today. And some of those green beans are definitely going into Manjula's amazing recipe. Which reminds me, does anyone have a bean Frencher I could borrow? I know it's an obscure little appliance, but I figure someone must.
