This year we bought a share in a CSA. That has nothing to do with the War Between the States. It’s Community Supported Agriculture. Specifically we joined Grasshoppers Distribution. We really miss all the farmers’ markets we could go to in California, but this might be even better. We picked up our first share (actually, we got a half share) on 19 May. We got (going clockwise from upper right) arugula, a baby bok choy, green onions, radishes, spinach, a bag of salad greens and a quart of strawberries! What a haul. The hardest thing about picking up a half bushel of vegetables every week is that you have to use them all before they go bad. Sometimes it’s a challenge. That first week we made:Radishes (greens and all) with Indian spices:
Strawberry frozen yogurt:
Salads (spinach, strawberries, greens, arugula, green onions, and other stuff):
Bok choy stir fried with chili and peanut butter:
Pizzas (with arugula pesto instead of sauce, topped with spinach and other fixings):
