CSA Share, Week 1
June 4, 2008
Our 2008 share through Roxbury Farm began today! This is our second year buying a share, and I feel much better prepared for the influx of vegetables. Though, the pick up was sparse this week due to an unusually cold, dry spring (the farm is in Kinderhook, NY): just a hefty bunch of broccoli rabe, a head of red-leaf lettuce, and a bowl of Asian braising greens (tatsoi? I’m not sure what else).
I’m thinking I may chop the greens into tomorrow’s stuffed cabbage, use the lettuce for salads, and then do a cold side dish with the broccoli rabe for Saturday’s barbecue (a pasta salad?). It will be easy to get through this week’s share, something I’m sure I’ll be wistful about come mid-July.

The lettuce looks especially appealing to me. Fresh salads are the best.
