For the record, this is what my farmer calls a disappointing share. No, I don't know, either. But he says he'll make it up to us with peaches next week, so I'm not gonna argue. I think he feels guilty that tomatoes aren't in yet.

Yesterday's mini flurry of prep included kale spa day (aka massaged kale salad *eyeroll*) which included last week's kale and some of this week's red onions, vindaloo curry, which included last week's cauliflower and this week's potatoes, and washed&froze beet greens for breakfast smoothies.

An appealing (to me) preparation of mizuna continues to elude me, however, and rather than experiment with these lovely bunches, I would be happy to trade them for something else. Anyone interested? It's pretty and a delicacy, but apparently not to my tastes just yet.

I think my plan for the mizuna is to combine it with the basil and try making pesto (which would be new for me). Or dumplings.

If you're interested, I remember doing this recipe with it in a previous year, and it was really quite nice -- http://cleananddelicious.com/2008/04/28/soba_noodle_salad_w_mizuna/

Also, OMG the cucumbers are so great this week!

I just don't like the taste of mizuna, though. :/

We went with RedFire this year for whatever reason (Parker slipped my mind, temporary insanity, etc) and now I have share envy. Definitely going to try to go with him again next year.

So did you want the mizuna? :)
