Yesterday was the first pick up day for our new CSA. I chose this one this year because it is less than a mile from our house and is organic. I have bought produce from her at the local farmers market for a few years and the quality is great. She has garlic that is to die for! I could bottle the smell and sniff it for hours. Weird I know, but the smells of garlic and basil really make my skirt fly up (quick-name that blog).
This bag brought us a few goodies: red leaf lettuce, fresh oregano, baby garlic, asparagus, homemade jarred BBQ sauce, and a dozen free-range eggs. I think she felt bad about not giving us more but his spring as sucked as far as garden goings-on, so I totally understand.
The asparagus is already history. If you have never had fresh picked asparagus, you must at some point in your life. Put it on your bucket list. You will forever thank me and will refuse to buy the tasteless asparagus that most grocery stores offer.
There are two recipes for the baby garlic. One being a pesto. I am already salivating thinking about it and it is on my list of things to do today.
I am so looking forward to each week's basket. Since we get our share of the ripe produce, it could contain anything!!
you joined a CSA? drool. DROOL.
