Week Two of the CSA. We got a new one here.
The latest trend? All I know is that it’s expensive if you can find it, and we got two heads of it this week. $8 worth of lettuce. Along with the eleven other items in our CSA box.
We got:
1 bag carrots
1 bunch collards
1 bag purple Viking potatoes
1 bag Yukon Gold potatoes
1 bunch celery
1 bag yellow onions
1 butternut squash
2 heads freckled lettuce
1 head romanescu cauliflower
1 bag purple top turnips
2 heads salanova lettuce
2 pieces rutabaga
I don’t know what is more fun. The cauliflower. The freckled lettuce. The salanova.
Why I love this CSA. Giving me veggies I never heard of. But, that are so good.
The bread this week.
A whole wheat country French boule. We like the small sixe of the boule. Just enough for a couple of soups.
Adventures in food. That’s what a CSA will bring you.

Salanova lettuce? Sounds like a good option for a Cesar salad or my sandwich!
Salanova makes me think of dancing!
I’m coming undone with the sheer volume of peppers in my crisper, but eventually I will persevere. Or combine them with pears for a really weird and probably inedible dish. But they’ll get out of the crisper!
