CSA Week #8

Spring is here! Officially according to the calendar and unofficially according to my CSA box!

It's so funny how by the end of Summer I just can't wait for some good, hearty Fall root vegetables to arrive from the farm....

 .....and then by the end of Winter all I can think about are tomatoes, zucchini and fresh basil. 

The grass is always greener, isn't it?

 

Well: this week I got a jolly good surprise! ...Did I just type "jolly good"?

Not only did we get a nice bunch of phallic looking beets - the first of the season!

But we also scored a nice big bag of sundried cherry tomatoes! They looked like little red and orange and brown jewels. My precious! AHHH! So excited!

I know, I know. They're dried. Which means they aren't fresh which means they could have shown up in the middle of January if they wanted to.

Regardless, it's a sign of good things to come! 

This week we got:

• 1 Bunch of phallic looking red beets.
• 1 Bag of dried cherry tomatoes.
• The Most Heaping Bag of Winter braising greens ya ever did saw.
• 2 Massive parsnips.
• A Bunch of cilantro.
• Frozen strawberries.
• 2 Leeks.
• Sunflower Sprouts.

Have you been noticing Spring's arrival? What are you getting excited for?
