Dinner is served, compliments of box number three

Last night, Patrick and Morgon Mae invited us to their house for dinner using some of the produce from the third box from Driftless Organics. The box was nearly overflowing this week, with garlic scapes, strawberries, spinach, potatoes, peas, greens, radishes, broccoli, mint, asparagus and arugula. JB and I brought some bok choy and snow peas from our garden to compliment the meal

Patrick and Morgon Mae fired up the outdoor grill and cooked some of the potatoes. The bok choy was also grilled. Morgon Mae made up a fresh salad with the greens, radishes, broccoli and peas. Additionally she prepared a very tasty garbanzo bean and kolrabi leaf salad.

Together the four of us enjoyed the bountiful meal. The meal was served with chilled white and rose wine. Within a half-hour we were full and content. We talked about our gardens, some politics and recent world events... even a bit of conversation about Michael Jackson.

A bit later the table was cleared and I set up the board game Catan. We played the 'fog island' version described in the Seafarers version of Catan. The game lasted nearly two hours and we all had a pleasant game. During the game a sweet dessert of freshly sliced pineapple and the CSA strawberries were presented to us by Morgon Mae. It was very yummy.

I thank Driftless Organics and our hosts Patrick and Morgon Mae for a very enjoyable evening. I can't wait for next week and box number four.
