Restocking Our Vegetables (CSA Week 2)

Published on May 27, 2011 By Emily. Updated on May 27, 2011

Brian and I ventured to the farm this afternoon to pick up this week’s share.   I moved our CSA pickup day so that it would coincide with my menu planning and grocery shopping better. We were still limited to 8 items, so we came home with green garlic (2 items), radishes (last week’s were delicious!), heirloom dried beans, komatsuna (apparently it’s like bok choy), eggs (2 items) and lettuce.

So far, getting the medium share was definitely the right decision.  We used up everything from last week a few days ago, except for a few eggs which I intend to use up this week.  We ate wraps filled with spinach and cheese for lunch and had a lot of salads that looked like this with our dinners:

Thanks for all the great feedback on Brian’s guest post here, on Twitter and on the Relishments facebook page.  He got so many comments I briefly considered letting him take the site over.  Luckily, I’ve thought better of it.  He’ll definitely be back though.

Lisa, the owner of Mighty Food Farm (my CSA), and I briefly crossed paths as I was leaving the farm today.  We are still planning to do the interview, if either of our schedules ever calm down.  So send your CSA questions for me or her to relishments at gmail . com or leave them in the comments below.

    Do you get to pick what you want from your CSA farm, and they determine the number of items? I love when CSAs do that.

    I used to think about getting a CSA share, but now that our garden has grown, we’re pretty set with vegetables. I just buy any extras I need at the farmers’ market.

    Enjoy the long weekend, Emily!

      The 2 CSAs we’ve been members of have both functioned that way and it’s been great.
      I’m hoping that if we ever get a house we’ll have a garden that keeps us pretty well set, but we’ll see. For now, I love going to the farm.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

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.
