This is our last CSA box … at least until we decide we’re not getting enough veggies out of the yard. Somehow I suspect that’s going to be a while. I promptly snitched the leeks and added them to a cheese-and-vegetable pie which was our dinner last night. I got the idea from Sundays at […]
Vegetable Tart and Marinated Lettuce Sal...
Two things: One, I’m a dork and forgot to take pictures of dinner while I was making it. Sorry. Two: dinner was so good I totally forgot to take pictures of it before it was gone. Hee. Which is a long way of saying: no pictures today, sorry. But you want to try this, pictures […]
[CSA Adventures] Winding down
Well, folks … My garden has been so abundant with produce that … er … well … I sent an email to my CSA today, canceling our service for the next quarter. I really enjoyed it, but at this point, I’m growing more food than we need. I’m growing so much that I took extra […]
Cucumber Buttermilk Soup
A refreshing soup for a hot day! And it’s really easy. (And it’s a really fast way to use up some of the million cucumbers you’ve got building up from your garden and your CSA box … ) I didn’t totally make it up — there are lots of recipes like this out there with […]
CSA Aug. 5
Hey, so I’m actually making a CSA post on the day I got the box. Woo! Haven’t made any serious plans about what to do with it yet, but I’m likely going to try to sweet-talk Kristina out of most of the tomatoes. Why? Because I’ve already got about 3 pounds of tomatoes from my […]
This week’s CSA
It would probably make more sense to do my CSA posts on the day when I actually get the box. Unfortunately, that day is also RPG night, so I’m usually pretty busy, and then don’t get to it over the weekend. Sorry ’bout that! Here’s the CSA box for this week: Kristina got the beets […]
What I did with my CSA box this week
This week’s box contained the following: Kristina got the chard and beets and some of the rest of the other food. We used the oranges, carrots, and radishes as part of the 4th of July party — orange wedges and a veggie tray that also included cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and cucumber. Veggie dip was a […]
CSA Adventures – Week of June 18
Sooooo, this is what I got in my CSA box this week: Uh, yeah. Now, the blackberries have mostly all been eaten already. The last of them are baking in a cobbler in the oven right now, and the rest of them were eaten fresh. The snap peas and some of the carrots went to […]
CSA Adventures — Let’s talk about CSAs
As you may or may not know, we’re subscribed to a CSA over here at the Pasto household. CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture”, and what this means is that we pay for and receive a box of produce every other week (soon to be every week) from a local farm. In specific, we’re with […]
