Wow, this summer has been whizzing by. I've had so many happy moments with friends this summer - but I've just never been disciplined about this journal keeping concept. I may try to at least bullet point the high points of the summer, but in the meantime I did make a promise to keep a photo journal of my CSA veggies this year, and while I've been taking the pictures, I haven't been posting them. So here are the pictures June25th - present.
I'm still loving the experience - we've been cooking so many new and different recipes because we had produce that we might not have otherwise bought and had to figure out how to use it. I've really been enjoying the variety. So far there has been very little waste, only about 3 or 4 things have gone bad before we could use them. The single share seems to be a size we can handle as long as we're fairly diligent about using it. It's frankly much less waste than we normally experience with store bought veggies. And excitingly - our new fridge arrived last Friday so we can now see what we have in the fridge so much more easily, and we won't be verging on fridge overload every time we pick up a new load of veggies.
