CSA Farm Share 2015: Week 6
So much! I made a big batch of squash-potato latkes. Arugula pesto. A lot of basil pesto, because all that basil I got added up to a pound of leaves after trimming. Whoa. Also been using the grilled garlic scapes in hummus, mostly eaten with cucumber spears. Giant batch of marinated kale because that all was a lot of kale. I now have a ( Read more... ) -
CSA Farm Share 2015: Week 5
On Monday, I did a bunch of cooking to clear out the backlog of stuff in preparation for a new share on Tuesday. I find it much easier to think of things to cook given limitations than when I can do anything I want. So I used most of the big cabbage for kimchi along with the rest of the carrots, turnips, and green onions. Then other onions along ( Read more... ) -
CSA Farm Share 2015: Week 4
And the share keeps growing every week! So many awesome veggies. For Tuesday night, I threw together a quick stir fry with a selection of the veggies and then stashed much of the rest in the Common House overnight. Wednesday was once again the big cooking night, in part because it's the only way to get everything to fit into our fridge. :)

CSA Farm Share 2015: Weeks 1 & 2 -- We're back!
Last year, what with the buying and the selling and the moving, I didn't track the farm share past week one, it seems, and I missed doing it. I know they aren't the most interesting posts, but posting at all makes me more likely to post more. Farm share started last week and we are definitely still ramping up. I didn't weigh either weeks, but ( Read more... ) -
I Opt In
FYI, by default I opt in to everyone's opt-in filters. This is true whether or not I remembered to comment to say so. If a filter is ever problematic enough to me, I'm okay with asking to be removed, but since that is vanishing rare, it's much easier to default that way than to have to explicitly opt in to everything. So in case you have any and ( Read more... ) -
CSA Farm Share 2014: Week 1 -- OMGreens!
It’s farm share time! As always, it begins with a flood of greens, and as always, a list does not convey just HOW MUCH this is, even though it’s actually small for Parker, believe it or not. I don’t mind ramping up, though - less of a shock to the system. :) Not to mention how perfectly beautiful and delicious each item is. Wow.
Week 1- 2 bunches ( Read more... )

A New Song!
I wrote a new song for our co-op this week, where the current theme is Transportation. I felt like too many of the songs we had focused on the same few modes and it'd be nice to have one with a little more diversity. It was a huge hit! The kids made us do it again and we could have repeated several times if we hadn't wanted to move on ( Read more... )
