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.

In addition to roasting well, radishes are really good pan-fried. I like reducing them to matchsticks first, but anything that gets them thin enough to be crispy would work.

Ooh, that sounds nice. Thanks!
