spring CSA, week 1

[cellio]

The spring farm share is weekly for eight weeks, starting today.

• 4 parsnips
• 4 white potatoes
• 5 fingerling sweet potatoes
• head hydroponic lettuce
• bunch red pak choi
• 25oz jar diced tomatoes (more like a puree)
• dozen free-range eggs

We had most of the pak choi in a stir-fry tonight. I'm glad to have parsnips again, which I like roasted along with other root veggies. There was a jar of the tomato puree in one of the winter shares and it made a good base for soup, so I'll probably do that again. The hydroponic lettuce has been nice in salads. Normally I don't notice lettuce being especially good; it's just there. This is good.

I've been having a delightful email conversation with somebody at the CSA, initially because they asked for feedback on the winter share. I mentioned that this was my first CSA experience and I'd been blogging it, and shared the tag link (hi, CSA folks!).
