csa share 6/2/10

by Stacy

One of the things I like best about having a CSA is that I barely have to grocery shop. Most of our starches and dairy I order monthly in bulk. The pantry items and vegetables I supplement with fruit and cheese from the natural food store and I’m pretty much good to go.

Lots of greens to start out, but it gets more colorful:

Some recipe suggestions to use these items:

It looks like I haven’t posted a quick pasta dish that I make all the time with summer squash, so I’ll work on getting that on the site. Another recipe I make often but don’t have blog-ready is an easy sesame noodle dish that those cucumbers would suit quite nicely. Off to the kitchen!

I like the new CSA picture setup a lot better. And I am chuffed to realize that if I had been paying attention to your CSA posts instead of skimming I would have recognized mizuna and tatsoi when they appeared in the walk-in.

Thanks! I think the individual ones started when I was too lazy to change lenses. I asked the hubby which he preferred and he voted fewer photos plus labels. At this point it’s sort of a bi-weekly photo project for me — before the daily kitchen project starts to use them up.

Haha! I thought about making one item a “name this veggie,” and maybe I should. ;p

Labels are A++, the number of photos matter less to me than the ease of immediate identification. I do think that in general the smaller things like pea shoots should get a close-up, even though I know that one already and don’t need it 😛

So lovely! Summer squash in early June, blows my zone 4 garden mind.

You should have seen my childhood friend and I picking strawberries in February, giggling in the 70-degree weather. I’m not sure my mind has quite wrapped around it yet, either!
