CSA Week 4 (Happy 4th)

Week 4's bounty!

This week our "box" included: green beans... zuchinni... broccoli... "gonazales" cabbage... turnips... beets... pickling cucumbers... leaf and freckle lettuces... and exactly one-quarter pound of garlic!

Also pictured the impulse buys we picked up while we were at the Tierra farmstand: strawberries (we've vowed never to buy them at the grocery store again)...tomatoes...and the awesome red onions!


As soon as we got home, it was time for lunch and we began feverishly chopping veggies...









...washing and drying lettuces is new for us, the former "salad in a sack" devotees, but you can't get better than the lettuces from Tierra. Makes us wish we hadn't sold the salad spinner at our last yard sale, though.



Voila! Our star-spangled red-white-and-blue(well, almost) Independence Day salad!



Can't wait for dinner!
