CSA Box #2
1 quart strawberries (fruit share)
1 bunch collard greens
1 bunch green garlic
1 bunch Easter Egg radishes
2 large baby bok choy
1 pound arugula
1 bunch Swiss chard
1 bunch turnip greens
1 bunch dinosaur kale
1 bunch curly kale
1 head red leaf lettuce
One thing that's nice about Red Earth is that you can access your account online to choose what items you want the following week. We didn't have that option for Box #1, but for Box #2 we stuck to long-lasting greens like kale and collards and only got one head of lettuce. I was very excited about the arugula but honestly, the crop we grew last year in our garden was much hotter and spicier. It was still good though, except for the one SLUG i found on a leaf! I was quite grossed out but i ate the arugula anyways. At least i saw the slug first...
As for Box #1, we were out of town half the week so we gave our friends all of the lettuce and half of the scallions. I did manage to cook everything else. The bok choy was amazingly sweet and crispy while the kale was probably the best bunch i ever dealt with. And i was wrong about the beets -- they were actually hugenormous RADISHES that looked like beets. We still have a few of those in the fridge, as well as some leftover stir fried greens, but overall Box #1 has pretty much been reduced. Oh yes and the unnamed vegetable was leafy Chinese cabbage.
