The post that didn't make it into LJ last week.

Hi all.

Just for the sake of consistency, here's the post from last week that went directly onto Facebook because LJ was down.

For those of you seeing this on facebook, I'll try to delete this note once it cross-posts so that you won't see it twice.

Here goes:

Hi all.

So I can't refer back to my CSA list because that's in a Livejournal post, and ( Read more... )

CSA share #3, and what I did with the rest of #2

taylweaver Jul 21, 2011 09:01

So I headed home on Thursday night to spend five days with my family, including a mini vacation with my mom and sisters in Atlantic City. We had a lovely time, but it's part of the reason so much of my share went uneaten. I didn't really do anything innovative with the rest of the share, so here's the quick rundown, followed by the list of what I ( Read more... )

taylweaver Jul 13, 2011 23:21

So here's hoping this shows up on facebook without funny formatting...

Halfway through my second CSA share, but may not get to eat much more of it, since I am leaving tomorrow evening for some family time, and won't be back until Tuesday. But here's what I have done so far:

First, some leftovers from Share #1:

Dish #1: Turnip green chips
Results: I ( Read more... )

So I got my second share today, which is definitely bigger than the first share was - and I haven't finished that one yet, so we'll see how this goes...

So here's what I came home with this week:
- 5 stems of basil
- 1 head of tat soi
- 1 head of broccoli
- 1 head of endive (I am told I should specify curly endive)
- 3 medium zucchini (at least, I think ( Read more... )

CSA #1: an update

taylweaver Jun 29, 2011 15:48

So, I'm not so into this past week's share, and my attempts to eat my way through it have met with mixed results.

Since it's been an entire week, I may be misremembering when I ate what.

Things I learned along the way:
- arugula is incredibly bitter
- sauteed arugula is considerably less bitter
- sauteeing flat greens (like turnip greens) doesn't work ( Read more... )

- 1 bunch of scallions
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1 head of lettuce
- 1 bunch of arugula
- 1 bunch of cilantro

Item I already know how to prepare: kale (yum!)
Item I ( Read more... )

If you want to eat an apple...

taylweaver Dec 21, 2010 22:35

If you want to eat an apple, then you have to get it out of the fridge.

When you open up the vegetable crisper, you'll find other things that have rotted, and you'll have to throw them into the trash can.

Once they are in the trash can, you'll realize that the trash needs to be taken out, because it stinks, but before you do that, you should probably ( Read more... )

Sketchy guy is sketchy

I could tell this was not going to be my favorite subway ride when the greeting from the guy who sat down next to me was, "how are you, baby?" (or "hi, baby," or, "how're you doing, baby." Some greeting that ended with "baby.")

He didn't look very threatening. In fact, he even gave me a bit of a gay vibe - though clearly, he was not gay if that's ( Read more... )
