CSA Pickup #21

This is our second to last CSA distribution. I'll miss it, but for now I have more greens than any girl knows what to do with. They're the early crop of the winter greens, and they are mostly very new and sweet. And a lot of potatoes, that, in Nicola's words, look like "a pile of little baby pigs."

We got:

1.5 lbs red potatoes1 bunch sage1 head lettuce
2 green peppers
1 bunch arugula
1 bunch baby kale1 bunch mizuna
1 bunch baby beets and beet greens1 bunch baby carrots

CSA Pickup #18

This week, the CSA was especially lavish, and I had artistic help in setting up the display. Nicola created the gorgeous still lifes (lives?) pictured here (pardon the darkness), along with a great salad of red lettuce, red pepper, spicy arugula, carrot, and turnip.
Altogether, we got...

1 bunch red and gold beets and their perfect greens
purple and white turnips
arugula
1 head lettuce
vitamin green (bok choi/cabbage-y thing)
carrots
potatoes
garlic
celeriac
red peppers
