This week’s haul was: peonies, garlic scapes, a cucumber, zucchini, basil, lettuce, kale, and Swiss chard. I used the basil in a tuna/white bean salad I made last night that we absolutely plowed through. I also harvested some of my peas earlier this week, along with some garden mint, and made a lovely spring lemony […]
This week’s haul was: peonies, Swiss chard, zucchini, lettuce, and beets. The peonies are looking particularly lovely, and the living room smells divine. In other news, my crisper is so stuffed, I’m having to come up with creative ways to store some of the produce. I’ve also had a harvest of sorts from the garden.
This week’s haul was: lettuce, Swiss chard, beets, zucchini, potatoes, and a peony. You’ll notice I’ve skipped right to week 2. With the crazy rain we had about two weeks ago, they didn’t dare set foot in the fields the first week of June, for fear of compacting the soil, so the start of the
This weekend’s contribution to the pantry was Vanilla-Maple Applesauce, which used up nearly all the rest of the apples I had from the CSA. What little I was able to sample was pretty darn good, though I think I’d add cinnamon and nutmeg if I made this again.

The final apple CSA delivery had six types: Golden Russet, Yellow Bellflower, Black Oxford, Winter Banana, Rome Beauty and Black Gilliflower. I think the Black Oxfords are definitely the prettiest this week. This CSA has been really interesting. I got to try a whole bunch of apples types I’d never seen before, and it was

This year’s final haul was: kale, salad mix, a pumpkin, sweet potatoes, peppers, and the most adorable baby chiogga beets. It’s been a good year for the CSA. I really liked the extra level of choice we were given – I’ve stocked up where I was able (winter squash and garlic), and the canning was
This week’s haul was: dinosaur kale, sweet potatoes, potato, butternut squash, delicata squash, and celery. This was meant to be the last week, but the Portland pick up got messed up last week, so we get another pick up next week (which is technically the Winter CSA) as a make up. I harvested the last
My mother did the pick up this week, so the above is my selection only. I got: Grimes Golden, Pomme Grise, Gray Pearmain, Nod Head, Tolman Sweet, Benton Read, and Blue Permain. My mother was most excited about the Blue Permain – she has a Blue Permain tree, but it’s too young to bear. It’s

This weekend’s canning adventure was Apple Rhubarb Chutney from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. I used Twenty Oz and Wagener apples from the CSA. It smelled absolutely divine while cooking. I think chutney is a bit of a misnomer – there’s no truly savory component. I’m thinking it’ll go well with oatmeal, so

This week’s haul (in all its rain-soaked glory) was: pumpkin, winter squash, carrots, sweet potato, garlic, peppers, and eggplant. Cooking highlights for this week included: Pasta Pan-Fried with Butternut Squash, Fried Sage, and Pine Nuts (which included sage from my window garden, as I’ve now moved my keeping herbs in for the season), and an
