It’s back! Summer is here, and so is the CSA. The first week of the new season is always interesting — no more meat this year, and tofu and seitan in the “dairy” option.
The dairy option that was out of my beloved eggs (by 11 AM, they said!), and so I am crying into two little yogurt cups instead. I am not a fan of the butter, so I think I will have to venture into the tofu/seitan universe. I actually thought I might give the seitan a shot this week, but when I saw it, I just couldn’t imagine what I was going to do with it. Clearly, this will require more planning and research.
I got the sharp chevre from Shellbark on Jenn’s recommendation — I was very pleased to see they were offering up more varieties this year beyond the fresh and the chive. And the produce options definitely seemed a little larger this year. A quart of strawberries instead of a pint. 4 zucchini instead of 2. 2 heads of lettuce instead of one. We’ll see if I still think this is a good thing 10 weeks in!
