CSA: Week 1

Last Monday we had our first CSA pick-up. The three of us drove to the other side of town (a whopping 4 miles) to collect our full share. We got:

-salad greens
-head lettuce
-arugula
-spinach
-kale
-chard
-bok choy
-strawberries
-fresh mint

It was a *lot* of greens. And I'll admit, I had never tried kale or chard or bok choy before. This had me trying three new things in the first week alone--an instant success! Mostly I ended up making a lot of salads, which were phenomenal. I'm not trying to over-romanticize the CSA produce, but something about eating greens picked the same day from a farm a few miles away made them taste so much better and more nutrient-rich than any salad I've ever made with store-bought greens. Honestly.

I tried a handful of projects that will show up here soon. But I wanted to document the list before my mind overwrote the information with Week 2 produce!
