CSA Share, Week 24

November 20, 2008

Last night, at around 10:30, I checked my blog to see what I’d planned for tonight’s dinner. It was then I realized I had completely missed my Wednesday CSA pick-up, which closes at 7. We were home doing nothing all afternoon, so it’s not that I was distracted; I just totally forgot to go. I was beating myself up over it last night, but today I’m letting it go.

This week I’ll use up the cabbage, beets, and carrots that are still huddled in my fridge. Plus I’m using four carnival squash for Thanksgiving. Next week is our final share of the 2008 season, and then I will sadly say goodbye to my weekly pick-up until June 2009.

    If you’d like a pair of butternut squash, I’d be happy to give them to you. I’m long on squash and I really don’t love it.

    Thank you! I’m going to pass though — gearing up for Thanksgiving and can only think about that right now. — Dara

    What are you making with the squash? I just got one from the co-op.

    Roasting it, somehow. Will probably cut it into wedges, scoop out the seeds, and do either a garlic/olive oil rub or something sweet, like maple syrup or brown sugar. — Dara

    What a bummer! I hate doing things like that, it makes me feel brainless.

    I still can’t believe I never missed a pickup. Though I might forget our bonus share tomorrow if I’m not on top of things!

Cheesy Kale Crisps: We rarely eat kale now that our farm share is over, and I want to fix that. I've wanted to try using nutritional yeast, and this recipe looks like a tasty way to do it.

"Shake It Out" by Florence + the Machine. This song reminds me of Annie Lennox, and I love tracks that include a huge, gospel-like chorus.
