Week 3: Friend Picnic!

Say you've just moved- you've been up to your elbows in boxes all week- things are now finally put away- you have a clean kitchen (that more than one person can fit in at a time!)- & you have a week and a half of farm share produce in your fridge & it's already Saturday- what do you do? You have two of your coolest (& hungriest?) friends over and make a CSA farm share picnic? Is that what you said...? Exactly, that's what we thought, too.

Week 3's produce:
(June 25th)
Beets
Napa Cabbage or Green Cabbage
Lettuce
Hakurei Turnips
Swiss Chard
Scallions or Garlic Scapes
Pick-Your-Own:
Strawberries
Peas: Snap and Snow
Dill
Cilantro



This also includes some left-over garlic scapes from last week's bounty. From this awesome array of veggies, Ellen, Amy, Audrey & I made beet, turnip & potato salad (with scallions). We fired up the ole electric skillet and made some veggie cheese burgers (with fresh local lettuce).

The cooking experience was awesome. Then, to make any picnic complete, we ventured out into our "backyard," which also happens to be the beautiful green-space that is CA's campus. Picnic-ing and fun ensued:

Next week, America's birthday: who wants to come cook at our new place for July 4th weekend? Whitney...Catherine...?
