You know, looking at it it doesn't seem to be an overwhelming amount of vegetables. .. I should rethink this.

It seemed pretty reasonable for a one-week supply, to me, yeah.

Many of the CSA farms have stands at the baltimore farmers market - and the bonus there is that you get to pick what veggies you buy. I definitely want to come up there one weekend when it's open.

OK! Let's do it.

Hey baby, nice radishes.

drivingblind May 22 2007, 18:48:52 UTC

I've been admiring them all day.

Ooooh rubarb. What is this csa thing?

It's community supported agriculture - You can learn more about it here:
http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ but basically you buy a "share"of vegetables from a local farm at the beginning of the planting season and then theygive you a box of veggies once a week during the growing season. Most CSAs are organic farms that use sustainable farming practices. Here's the post I made when I was signing up - it's got a bit more info on it - http://omphaloskepsis.livejournal.com/49696.html

Cool! Everything looks really great and the quantity is good too! I'll post pics of mine once I get my first order. *rubs hands*

Yay! I can't wait to see your weekly haul. Oh and last night I discovered you could roast radishes with some olive oil and salt and they are fantastic! I'm not a big fan of raw radishes but now I know I really like them roasted. :)

I know what you can do with the Mint! And Shawn and I will be over there this weekend to help mix it up for you. If Fred (or you) can just make a simple syrup, we'll provide the bourbon!

oooh! tempting!

oontzgrrl May 23 2007, 15:51:47 UTC

Off topic but it was really fabulous seeing you this weekend. You really look stunning, and also happy which is the most important thing. :)

It was awesome to see you as well! Thank you for the lovely compliment. I love being a designer, I just wish that my day to day designing wasn't so, er, deadening. =) It was great to shoot the shit. =)
