Last week, we hit the point where every single dish or meal I ate was enhanced by some fresh CSA goodie. Let me particularly rave about the Boltonfeta, which found its way into salads, pastas and my hand. It was excellent! Seek some out if you can; Greensgrow is pretty good about stocking the CSA cheeses in their dairy case for all to buy. Also, I think basil is my favorite CSA herb. Not only is it nice to drop in all kinds of things, it makes a lovely little nosegay on your counter — makes your kitchen smell so summery!
This week, I have reached the zen of CSA. Whatever Bryan suggests sounds good to me. He sees potatoes, he wants a roast chicken. Sure, bring it on! Mozzarella and tomatoes for a pizza? Love it! I guess I’m saying I’m out of creative juices for using my basket. Except, of course, kimchi. I love it, and I have no other real interest in cabbage. If it’s a total bust, I’ve lost nothing except possibly a layer of skin due to chili powder contact. Please offer me your advice or your Korean mothers now. I bet I need it.
