CSA Share ‘09, Week 4
July 1, 2009
Our relatively small haul for the week: 1 cucumber, 1 summer squash, a bunch of small beets with greens, a quart (?) of turnips sans greens, a bit of lettuce mix, scallions, a pint of sugar snaps, 2 small stalks of broccoli, and parsley.
I was also supposed to get an arrowhead cabbage, but somewhere in the boys’ discussion of who was putting what into the bag, it was left behind. (I am almost amused by how very annoyed I am by this. Almost.) I was disappointed to not get another bunch of radishes this week, especially had discovering how delicious they are with a little bleu cheese.
I know the super-rainy weather has not been kind to the farm. J.’s small garden has been similarly swamped, and I’m not sure we’ll get anything out of it this year. I’m thankful to get what we did this week. My parsley is piling up. I may need to make some tabouleh.

We did pick up our cabbage – but I’m sure one day I’ll be forgetting something! I tried shredding it and it soaked in Trader Joe’s Sesame Soy Ginger dressing overnight. Will let you know how it is. About the radishes, I like them stir fried even though no one else I’ve spoken to has ever cooked a radish. Experimenting with a new recipe for beet greens tonight….Do you get a fruit share? Our cherries were a big hit!
Oh, sesame soy ginger sounds delicious! Did it get too soggy though? I like the crispness of the cabbage. Last year I tired roasting radishes — I think last year’s batch was much more bitter than this year. This year I am enjoying them raw only! I’m definitely going to use the beet greens this week since we didn’t get broccoli rabe, braising greens, or turnip greens! We’ve never done a fruit share. — Dara

Parsley pesto is nice too.
