I just got back from picking up my first summer share. Lots and lots of beautiful greens: collard greens, Red Russian kale, green leaf lettuce, pea tendrils, garlic scapes, radish greens, kohlrabi. The sad part is that for the next month, I am still limited in the amount of these things I am allowed to eat each week. Thankfully, I have someone to share them with. Renee will pick up her portion tomorrow. But I do believe that I will have to cook some of them and freeze them.
The first disappointment occurred today too: a very small batch of garlic scapes. Since I have had them before and we are bound to get more (unless the early hot weather affected this crop too), I am going to give them to Renee this week. So, I think the first thing that I am going to do is make a quinoa salad with steamed kale. It's been a while since I have done that and quinoa has protein, so it will fit in my diet pretty well. Rest assured, once I have made it, I will post a recipe and pictures. So happy to be back to the CSA!!!!!!
