Stone Soup Farm CSA: Weeks Eighteen and Twenty

Stone Soup Farm CSA Week Eighteen

Ok, yes, I am writing this post because I feel guilty. Guilty because we pick up our first winter share tomorrow, and I never told you about our last two shares of the regular season! First, week Eighteen: onions, garlic, potatoes, tatsoi, leeks, cilantro and salad greens. As I recall, we let the tatsoi rot in the crisper drawer while we were on our honeymoon.

Week Nineteen: Finn and Heather picked up our share while we were on our honeymoon. Thanks for giving it a good home, guys!

Stone Soup Farm CSA Week Twenty

Week Twenty, aka the last week of the regular season, BOO. A couple of green peppers, garlic, potatoes, onions, butternuts, kale, popcorn (hidden in the kale there), cilantro and a couple of ornamental gourds that are still sitting pretty on our coffee table. In fact, I took a very dramatic picture of them the other day.

I don't have a recipe for you today, I'm sorry, dudes. Here's the thing about cooking school: it doesn't leave a ton of time for actual home cooking. We've been surviving on quesadillas and slow-cooker beans and breakfast-for-dinner type situations. Last week I used leftover brioche dough from class to make a deep dish pizza of sorts. Yesterday we had popcorn for dinner. Sigh.

Anyway, our first winter share pickup is tomorrow, so there will be a big pile of tasty things waiting to be cooked, and I'll be back with a right and proper meal type item.

  1. Dude, I just misread "winter share" as "wine share" and got very excited about the possibility of such a thing. Can you imagine getting a bottle or two of local wine every week? I mean, I like fruit and egg options, but...wow.

    However, your actual shares, with all the hard squash and potatoes and serious greens, also look great!
