CSA Share Week 7 & 8

 

PLGCSA Week 7
Lettuce Head

Swiss Chard
Garlic
Basil
Peas
Dill

Fruit share:
More blueberries...I wanted raspberries. But then I got pretty addicted to frozen blueberries in my oatmeal and fresh blueberries in my ice cream, so...I guess it was a success.

PLGCSA Week 8
Salad greens
Garlic
Zucchini
Parsley
Basil
1 (!!!) Zucchini blossom, no idea what to do with just one, I guess it will be a tester ::shrug::
Cabbage—but I didn't take it after the failure I had with the previous week's cabbage (it's still in my fridge, disappointing me)

Fruit share:
Plums & Apricots


I tried to make Stuffed Cabbage on Monday night—two mistakes I made: I waited too late into the night to start cooking and the cabbage wasn't cooked long enough to "stuff."

I was pretty, meh, about last week's share. I'm more excited about this week. Tonight I'm making a zucchini fritatta (which won't require standing in my excessively hot kitchen for too long)! And I now have a game plan with my salad greens/lettuce—I eat it on the first night, so that it won't fall victim to disintegration, discoloration, or freezing. You can bring frozen lettuce back to life, but defrosted salad greens are questionable. FYI: my fridge sucks.

Inspiration.

Looking for a little culinary inspiration this week.

PLG CSA Week 2:

Lettuce
Salad greens
Kale
Parsley
Baby Bok Choy

And this time I found my half share of cheese!

Tonight's dinner is sautéed sesame ginger bok choy with quinoa. I've never had quinoa before but it smells nutty . . . so I'm excited to try it. Think I'll pack tomorrow's lunch before I eat, so I won't have to worry about leaving enough leftovers.

With 2 heads of lettuce, salad greens, kale, and parsley--it's looking like the rest of the week is going to be taco salad, kale salad, and . . . . Hmm I don't know what to do with the salad greens. I sautéed them with couscous last week, not knowing what to do with them then, either. Maybe I'll sautée them again, but this time with shrimp.

Anyone have any culinary ideas?
