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.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
