The First Night of CSA Box One OMG CSA BOXES! It's my first one! Here's what came in the box: Hamburger Frozen rhubarb chunks Nettles Spinach Salad greens (WITH FLOWERS, YOU CAN EAT THEM) Arugula An oregano plant! I hope I don't kill it, and that it manages to somehow get light from my single window that faces another apartment building! Mint! Some spring turnips - Gretchen said I can eat the leaves, too! Bok choy Pea shoots Chive blossoms! They are purple! What A beverage! It was supposed to be mint lemonade, but here's what happened: Put a half-gallon of really hot water over a cup of salt and let the salt dissolve. Put in several slices of ginger, mint leaves, and squeeze lemon juice in. We only had half a lemon, so mostly this water tasted very sweet, and like mint with an aftertaste of ginger. I think this would help a sick stomach! A quiche! Here are some blogs I've found with vegetables and suggestions on what to do with them. They both seem to use local produce, one of which uses a Madison-based CSA: Green Your Plate A Good Appetite My Foodie Question of the Night How do you clean your wooden cutting boards? It seems like mine always smells like pizza, even though I wipe it with a damp rag every time I use it. Should I scrape it with a knife or something? Do you then put oil on it and let it soak so that it stays.....not slivery? I'm excited to make a salad to go with my lunch tomorrow. I usually hate salads, but I think it's mostly because I can't stand limp, crappy lettuce. But I will have salad greens and spinach and arugula AND I WILL TRIUMPH. The quiche tasted so good that I don't want to brush my teeth. I'm turning into my boyfriend, :( Labels: csa, domesticity, food scribbled mystickeeper at 10:36 PM
