Today’s haul was: summer squash, jalapenos, radishes, new potatoes, chiogga beets, Swiss chard, a head of lettuce, and cucumbers. I actually went out to the farm today, which was pretty funny, as I’d never been out there until this past Sunday, which was Maine Open Farm Day (BF and I both went), and now I’ve […]
Today, I made jam. It’s freezer jam, since it’s far too hot to be doing the kind of cooking required for regular canning. This is the blueberry freezer jam from Ellie Topp and Margaret Howard’s The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving. I was immediately attracted to this book by the idea of not having to

I’m posting this a bit late, because it’s been so hot that even the idea of turning on my computer was anathema, but this week’s haul is: potatoes, chioggia beets, scallions, salad mix, broccoli, dinosaur kale, peas, and all the summer squash we could carry. A few highlights from last week’s eating: a Balsamic and
This week’s haul was: garlic scapes, mesclun mix, baby bok choi, new potatoes, and zucchini. The one thing I will say about last week’s haul is that Swiss chard sauteed with garlic scapes is a wonderful thing.
This week’s haul was: Swiss chard, kale, salad mix, turnips, scallions and garlic scapes. We didn’t have garlic scapes last year, so that’s new and exciting. We also had beets as an option, as apparently it’s shaping up to be a very good beet year, but only the red ones are ready at the moment,
Today’s haul was: broccoli rabe, spinach, arugula, four adorable little heads of lettuce, a peony, scallions, kale, and strawberries. Highlights from last week’s cooking were a Swiss Chard, Ricotta, and Sausage Torta, which was perfect comfort food on a cold, rainy Saturday, and yesterday’s dinner of Green-Curry Chicken with Peas and Basil where I not
This week’s haul was: peonies, spinach, baby bok choy, salad mix, Swiss chard and scallions. The best thing I made last week was this tuna and radish salad, made with garden and CSA radishes, garden parsley, and CSA salad mix. It was lovely earlier in the week, when it was warmer. I’ll probably be making
This week’s haul was: Swiss chard, radishes, spinach, basil, salad mix and two peonies, which are perfuming the entire house as I speak. We’ve already made use of the salad mix and basil in today’s sandwich dinner. The best meal from last week was a combination of last week’s spinach and the week before’s potatoes,
This week’s haul was more turnips, mesclun, spinach, a head of lettuce, and Swiss chard. The turnips also have greens this week, which is pretty exciting (I love baby turnip greens). I also got a few more radishes out of the garden. There are couple left in the pot, with lovely greenery, but next to
Today was the first pick up of this year’s CSA. They’ve had a bit of a slow start due to all the rain, so everything this week was either a storage vegetable, or from the greenhouse. I got: 3 pounds of potatoes, half a pound of baby harukai turnips, a head of lettuce, and half
