CSA Week 4 & 5

By: Doebette

Sorry for falling behind on my CSA updates. . .this quick post will catch you up on then we're back on track!

Ok - for the past two weeks we've been getting
- cucumbers
- strawberries
- kholrabi
- garlic
- sugar snap peas
- zucchinis
and of course . . .

lettuce!

I'm beginning to think that by the end of the summer I'll be totally over salad!!
We are however loving the zucchini. Boy, it's a LOT of zucchini, but I've made zucchini bread which was super yummy.

We grilled the sugar snap peas in foil packets with a little salt and butter. It was SUPER yummy! And the surprise of the recent two weeks was the grilled radishes. We sliced them relatively thinly, added some small bits of butter, finely chopped garlic (from our fresh garlic!) and a cube of ice. Seal the foil packet and grill for about 8 minutes. It was tender and almost took on the consistency of potatoes.

We haven't used the kholrabi yet but I plan to very soon.

Just picked up the next batch today and will be much better next week, I promise!!!

No tomatoes?

Reading all of your posts makes me so jealous. I've really wanted to join a CSA for a while now, but I can't find one that has late evening or weekend pick-up somewhere relatively close to me.
