First Box 2009!

As I set down our CSA box on the kitchen table, I heard the rumble of excited footsteps on the stairs. Don appeared in the doorway looking like it might be Christmas. We pulled the arugula out, oohing and ahhing at the fragrance of rosemary, and--oh the purple kohlrabi! Blue potatoes! Green garlic! Not to mention three shades of radishes. A feast for our eyes, even as our tummies rumbled. It was already late for dinner making, so we didn't bother taking a photo. Becky attacked the green leaf lettuce and radishes for a salad, and I prepped kohlrabi leaves and radish tops for a batch of southern greens, referring to the recipe on the newsletter. I didn't even know you could eat these leaves! Don got the rest into green bags and into the fridge. Leftover potroast was sorely upstaged by the delightful produce. We can't wait to roast those potatoes with green garlic and rosemary for brunch on Sunday.
