CSA Farm Share 2011: Week 16

[surrealestate]

I could have sworn I'd already posted last week's list, but clearly I didn't. I wonder if I wrote it and it got lost when my laptop crashed. Anyway, writing it up now. I've been making lots of mashed turnips lately and we had some good soup. I made (thanks to Manjula) aloo gobhi and green beans & peas. The other night DD made pizzas, which included tomato sauce, pesto, and dried tomatoes previously made by me. And of course, bruschetta (also marinated kale). Nine pints of canned applesauce plus some more in the fridge.

And I guess this is in this general category… last week I tried the pump again and for the first time ever, got milk with no pain! Yay! (I hadn't used it in months and up til now, hadn't pumped much more than what we froze at Baitcon.) My plan is to do it once a day, but so far, I've managed 3-4 times in ~2 weeks. Anyway, still something, and now there's a half-day or so worth in the freezer for the little guy if we need it. We've managed this long without it (that spoiled kid has never had a bottle), so I'm not overly concerned, in any case. Also, for Rosh Hashanah, he gnawed on an apple wedge. Pictures to come.

• 2 bunches Carrots
• 2 bunches Asian Turnips (+greens)
• 1 lb Beans

• 2 bunches Red Russian Kale
• 8 ears Corn
• 4 lbs Tomatoes

Meanwhile, would anyone be interested in some mizuna or pea tendrils? From last week, but still good. I just know we won't get around to finishing. Also, if you want to trade anything for (fresh-picked) cilantro and/or raab [ETA: I am offering cilantro and raab, not looking for it], let me know.

I would take some Mizuna. If our farmshare provides us cilantro this week you are welcome to it in return, but I haven't seen any for a while.

Oops, I meant I'm looking to offload cilantro, not get more. :)

Might I see you tonight at M's to hand off Mizuna?

[pekmez.livejournal.com]

mmm, dunno - you could bring it either way, and hand it off to M and I could pick it up later if I fail to come tonight?

Oops, forgot to bring it with me (though I would have gone back to get it if you showed) but you're welcome to pick it up from here later.

I would totally take those pea tendrils...will you be at tomorrow's movie?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I can't go to the movie because J has his 6-month check-up at 1:45. However, that does mean I can just come into the square 20 minutes early to give you greens just before the movie.

Cool, thanks! I'll do my level best to be on time. :-}
