Catching Up (CSA Menu Plan #37)

Published on September 21, 2015 By Emily. Updated on September 21, 2015

For a number of reasons, I have not been on my game lately.  Last week was super busy, with 4 nights out on the calendar between Monday and Friday.  Knowing our weekend was going to be equally busy, we decided to pick up our share as usual on Friday and then the next week’s share on Tuesday.  A fridge full of food doesn’t do a person much good, however, when they find themselves wiped out by a cold.  Thanks, students.  The past several days have been a mix of fun activities and being completely flattened by this cold.  It seems to come and go, which is kind of mean.

And this weekend really was full of fun things.  My parents arrived Friday night and we made our annual pilgrimage to Fresh Grass.  I was mostly looking forward to seeing the Punch Brothers, but Twisted Pine was also an excellent act.  While we waited for the music, Brian and I made the most of the food trucks, enjoying maple chocolate chip ice cream, french fries topped with pulled pork and noodles + dumplings.  The food was really quality this year.  On Saturday, we went to a presentation from Assembly Coffee Roasters about coffee brewing at the Berkshire Museum (more about that on Tuesday).  We also did some shopping.  I think I may have overdone it though because I found myself coughing up a storm on Sunday.  It was nothing an afternoon of sleep couldn’t (mostly) fix and last night Brian and I were able to enjoy dinner out at NoCo Pastaria with my parents before they headed home.  I’m feeling much better today; good enough to finally plan a menu for this week, share what we ate last week and maybe get some other work done as well.

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
