In CSA terms.
We got an email Monday, letting us know what might be there. So we could plan. The final tally wasn’t far off.
We got:
Butternut Squash
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Beauregard Sweet Potatoes
Turnips
Green Cabbage
Red Leaf Lettuce
Arugula
Lacinato Kale Hearts
Celeriac
All of us got those. The boxes also had three items that may have varied from box to box.
In my box:
White Cauliflower
Parsnips
Rutabaga
I swapped the rutabaga and parsnips.
Partially because there was a bag of arugula in the swap box, and I dearly love arugula. And, I wanted more leeks to make a cauliflower leek soup. There were leeks in the swap box too.
The swap box is a wonderful thing. Want to double up on something? Or, not feeling the love for an item. Swap it.
Today, though, I was really enjoying the large amount of greens. We are eating salads with lunch and dinner, so we go through quite a bit of greens. I just finished the last of the Love Dove Farms arugula, and had one head of salanova lettuce from last week left.
I really like the looks of the red leaf lettuce.
Besides these fresh veggies for the holidays, I got my weekly loaf of bread. This week it was a classic French boule.
Before heading over to Columbia and the CSA site, I stopped in Boarman’s to get my Maple Lawn turkey, and my order of sausage and oysters.
This will be a serious cooking weekend.
Making an Oysters Rockefeller Casserole, and sausage dressing with my turkey. Friday night, our personal Thanksgiving dinner. You know, that dinner made with what you want to cook.
Happy Turkey Day!
