This was my regular farm share, which is a lot of stuff.

Week 3

• 2 bunches Kohlrabi (with greens)
• 2 lbs Green Beans
• 2 bunches Red Spring Onions (with tops)
• 2 bunches Yellow Carrots
• 4 Zucchini
• 2 bunches Radishes
• 2 bags mixed Baby Lettuce
• 2 bunches Broccoli
  = 20 lbs

In addition to all of that, I also ended up with:

• 1 bag Baby Spinach
• 1 bag Basil
• 2 bunches Harukei Turnips
• 1 head Red Leaf Lettuce
• 1 bunch Oregano
• 1 bunch Kale
• 1 bunch Rainbow Chard
• 1 bunch curly Parsley
• 1 bunch flat Parsley
• 1 bunch Kohlrabi (with greens)
• 1 bunch Kohlrabi greens (without kohlrabi)
• 2 lbs Garlic Scapes (which is, ftr, a whole lot of garlic scapes)

I also have a bread share which I keep forgetting to mention. This week's loaf was a light rye.

Since something needed to be done, last night I finally made my first batch of Greens & Peanut Stew of the season, using up the remaining greens from last week as well as this week’s kale and some of the kohlrabi greens. Which was a lot but still leaves a lot. Also prepped all the bagged lettuce along with spinach for salad.

I have all the fixings for kimchi except the cabbage. Pondering whether I should look for some Napa at the farmers markets Wednesday or just do something else with this stuff. Seems kind of absurd to go and buy more veggies under the circumstances. Maybe beowabbit will come over and I can give him the radishes.

• 2 bunches Japanese Turnips (+Greens)
• 2 bunches Yellow Carrots
• 2 bunches Yellow Chard
• 1 lb Sugar Snap Peas
• 2 bunches Collards
• 2 bunches Kohlrabi (+Greens)
• 2 bunches Broccoli
• 2 bunches Beets (+Greens)

Eagle-eyed readers will observe that up there are 10 sets of greens. Phew! Last night I used the chard in a slightly modified recipe from preraphaelite which was yummy. Planning on beet/carrot/kohlrabi shredded salad (as described here. Yay veggies!

So yeah, I'm back! Had a great weekend, still tired. Tried to catch up on LJ but there is too much to really read, so if you posted anything you'd like me to see, leave a link here or email me. I don't care why you want me to see it, so it can be anything from it being important and you want everyone to know to thinking I in particular would want to see it to just feeling like it'd make you feel good to have more eyes/poll-takers/whatever.

• 2 bunches Broccoli
• 2 heads Bibb Lettuce
• 2 bunches Arugula
• 2 bunches Radishes
• 2 bunches Collards
• 2 bunches Golden Beets
• 2 bunches Parsley
• 2 bunches Baby Carrots
• 2 pints Sugar Snap Peas
• 2 pints Strawberries
  ==
• 1/2 lb Field Greens
• 1 Kohlrabi
• 1 bunch Turnips (red or hakurei)
• 1 bunch Onions (small, red or white)
• 1 bunch Yellow Chard
• 1 head Lettuce
• 2 medium stems Broccoli

Also, last week's kimchi, which I tasted today as soon as I got home, is wonderful. I like it better thank my first batch (despite the first containing actual Asian cabbage (bok choy) and this one just green cabbage) which i think is largely due to the use of real Korean pepper. More on this later.

PS: No, I did not make kimchi ice cream.
