Week 10 and 11 August 10 and 17

So I have been away for 2 weeks, first camping, then visiting my mom in the city, so the blogging took a back seat.  HOWever, we did take our veggies camping with us and had some good treats, including vegetable-heavy spagetti sauce, a creamy basil dip and a delicious salad with white radishes and squash.

Week 9 August 3

We received a nice generous share this week! Beans, peas, tons of Kale, beets, basil, garlic, scallions, very pretty speckled lettuce, zucchini, and squash.  







 Marion is especially happy about the Kale, one of her favourites.


Here's Marion trying to catch some local food, fishing at the river.  No bites.  (so far!) My plan is to catch and smoke some trout if possible.  


Potato corn and bacon chowder with kale:


Beans and peas sauteed with bacon, salsa and about 4 extra large CSA garlic cloves!  The girls made this and it was delicious.  


The speckled lettuce was very delicate, and only needed a light garlicy viniagrette.

Week 8 July 27


Again, crazy week, I wasn't here on delivery day, but these are the veggies I pulled from the fridge, that I think are from the CSA!  Peas, beans, squash, zucchini, radishes, beets, bok choy, greens, salad...   it's getting very colourful this time of year! 


 A stir fry, with the beans, squash and bok choy, chicken, onion, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds, almonds, and a bit of sugar and hot sauce.
