CSA Update

So I haven't been posting what I've gotten in my CSA. Shame on me. Let's see if I can remember.

Up until yesterday I've gotten: lettuce, scallions, basil, garlic scapes, spinach, and strawberries.

Yesterday, it got even better. I got two cartons of fresh-picked strawberries. And by "fresh-picked", I mean that morning. All the produce is picked the day I get it! Those strawberries are just amazing and I have probably two more weeks of them, yay!

Next up...sugar snap peas! I love just eating them raw. I know you can saute or steam 'em. But there's nothing better than popping open those little buggers and eating just those little peas. (Nephew tries them for the first time and declared them awesome as well.)

I also got some snow peas, more lettuce, and some arugula. So more and more salads are in my future. I don't mind though....it's quite tasty. And I enjoy trying the different greens instead of the old tried and true romaine or *shudder* iceberg.

Tonight I plan on using some of the spinach and strawberries. Maybe a salad, maybe separate...who knows. Gotta eat these up while they are at their freshest.

Have a great weekend!
