CSA Kick Off!
The CSA that the husband and I did last year starts up again this week. To be exact; I go to pick up our produce today!!! We are lucky to live close enough to the farm that we can just pick up our shares. It's convenient to be able to go over most any time and when their farm stand opens up, we can also purchase any extras we want.
Each week, the farm sends out an email the night before telling us what to expect in our box. Here's what they listed for this week:
garlic scapes
green garlic
swiss chard
fava beans (maybe have them with liver and a nice chianti?)
squash
lemon basil or sorrel
lettuce mix
beet greens
baby leeks
I love how the CSA forces us to eat pretty seasonally and also to 'think on our feet' rather than just making whatever we want out of cookbooks. I'll try to keep up with posting about all the goodies we get and how we use them.
------------------------------------
Yoga today at 9:30. Last night while futzing around I got to where I could do a wheel near a wall and then walk up the wall to standing. I'll keep doing this and soon I should be able to stand up from a wheel with no wall at all!! Josh says it's very impressive but I look kind of spider-y doing it, which is funny.
