The ongoing adventure in seeing how much CSA produce I can use up and not waste during the week...What was in the CSA bag last week: onions, kale, carrots, salad greens, mizuna greens, snow peas, turnips, and a small vase of flowers.
What I made: mixed salad greens with mizuna & carrots, wilted mizuna in an omelet, stew with onions, turnips & carrots, and snow peas mixed in with leftover Chinese. Admired the flowers.
What's still left to eat (thank goodness for Evert Fresh bags): onions & kale.
This week's haul: broccoli, spinach, dandelion greens, salad greens, onions, beets, and another batch of flowers (to admire, not eat).
I'm going to force myself to do something with those beets, I mean it this time. The compost pile is still "eating" far too well for my liking.

We have a Barred Rock look alike :) go figure, her name is Anna Louisa, she is a real gabby hen. Also regarding the beets, we ordered a vacuum seal packer and froze lots of beets year before last, we are still eating them. Good thing last year was a disaster beet year.
ReplyDeleteEste Later!
What about making pickles out of them? Or dye for fiber? I'll spin all the beet-dyed wool you care to make. I've tried eating them....feh.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever eat meat? lol.
ReplyDelete@S_Vandemore - oh, I do eat meat, but since it's not included in the CSA bag, I don't blog about it. There was beef in the stew, chicken & shrimp in the Chinese takeout, etc. :-)
