CSA Week #2

We're through our first week of CSA veggie goodies!

Here's what our box looked like this week:

It included lettuce, asparagus, green onions:

Big bowl of spinach (bowl not included):

And storage potatoes:

To give some perspective on how the cold and damp weather has been affecting this year's crops thus far, this is the first time in seven years that potatoes have been included in the first summer boxes!  I have no previous experience with a CSA, so it's all new to me, no expectations lol.  I'm sure we'll be getting lots of great produce once the weather warms up!

Now, as for what we did with last week's produce:

Salad made up of the two types of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers (that was a no-brainer!):

Asparagus, mushrooms, and onions (onions additional) over brown rice (this was really delicious!):

And...since we rarely have rhubarb in the house, we decided to make a dessert (well, actually my bf made that decision, pastry and all!)  Bad naturopath, bad!!

The rhubarb puff pastries were also apparently cat-approved, as these two troublemakers decided to help themselves to one in the night (ooops) and all we found were crumbs on the floor the next morning (and a missing pastry) lol

That's everything for this week!  Hope you are all coping with the damp, yucky weather!  It reminds me of my first time going to music camp (June 2000).  A week away camping in cabins with no heat and playing music in buildings with no heat...it was so damp, rainy, and cold the entire time!  I felt real sorry for the people who had signed up for water skiing and swimming as their elective!  But it did eventually warm up that summer (I think), so I'm still optimistic :)
