winter CSA, week 8

[cellio]

• 11 carrots (varied sizes)
• 3 green meat radishes
• 7 Empire apples
• 5 "white" potatoes (I expected the skins to be lighter; haven't looked inside yet)
• lettuce
• Rosie Asian greens
• 2lb spelt berries (what the heck are... ok, got help from Google)
• dozen eggs
• quarter pound of "cowboy coffee" cheese (there's an espresso rub)
• jar zucchini relish (who knew?)

I might need to pickle some of the radishes. My pickled daikon radish back at the beginning of the season worked out pretty well, but I like them more than Dani does. Do radishes roast well, I wonder?

There's one delivery left in the winter CSA. We signed up for the spring share, which is weekly for eight weeks (after a gap of three weeks, if I recall correctly). We'll make decisions about summer later; for that we have options for both size and frequency.

radishes are also neat in miso based vegetable stew, if you would care for that.

spelt is an early period wheat analog, cook it like a porridge, and you can cool it to be the base of a nice side dish, as people do with farro, or texture in a soup, among other uses.

great haul!

Thanks! Those all sound appealing.
