Saturday was the last weekend for our market.  They will be open noon-4pm on Wednesday to sell baked goods and last minute vegetables for the holiday, but then it’s oven until May.  Sigh.  

Veggies!
Since I was worried about being able to fit everything for Thanksgiving into my fridge already, I restricted myself to buying things that I actually needed for the week instead of my usual craziness and experimentation.  I got a dozen eggs for various baked goods, gala apples for stuffing/dressing, broccoli for the loaded baked potato soup, and potatoes for the soup and mashed potatoes.  

And, yes, I did manage to fit everything into the fridge after grocery shopping today.  Phew!  (Well, I did have to put some stuff into Lance’s Pepsi fridge…)

And this was the final week of our CSA experience!  Sadly, I was out of town so Art had to pick up our CSA box without me.  After this we’ve only got two more days of the market, one is this Saturday and then the market is open the day before Thanksgiving for last minute shopping.  

CSA!
This week the box contained lettuce, sweet potatoes, turnips, cress, butternut squashes, sweet and hot peppers, and bok choy.  I’ve already used the bok choy in a salmon dish and I’ve baked all the sweet potatoes (as well as ones from previous weeks) for mashing, freezing, and future baking.

Apparently I was wrong about last week being the final week of the CSA!  Oh happy day!  It seems that we still had 1-2 weeks left.  So it’s either this week that’s the last week or next week that is.  I’m pretty bad at keeping track of things like this.  I do know that the last Sunday of the market is the 22nd of November but they have a special market day on the 25th so that people can get last might Thanksgiving goodies.  

CSA
The CSA box was glorious this week.  Starting in the top leftish, we received turnip greens, turnips, eggs, salad mix, radish, spinach!!, bell peppers, a hubbard squash, green tomatoes, spaghetti squash, acorn squash, and sweet potatoes.

This was the last week of the CSA which means that it was 24 weeks since we missed the first week.  I’ll be posting a CSA Recap post in the next few days, overall it has been a fantastic experience and I look forward to enjoying it again next year!  

CSA
This week’s box was very green.  We received turnip greens, cress, dill, salad greens, radishes, turnips, sweet potatoes, sweet and hot pepper, butternut squash, and bok choy.

Market Week 22

This is our 22nd week with our CSA and next week will be the last week.  Our farmer, being amazing, gave us another full share to make up for a week that we missed.  Getting full shares two weeks in a row has definitely reaffirmed my decision to go with a half share.  There is no way that we could use up that many vegetables each and every week! 

Veggies
This week we received more kale which we hope to give to a good home on our street.  In all the weeks of our CSA experiment, kale has really been one of the only three things we just don’t care for.  We also got two more bags of delicious salad greens, a little acorn squash, and two bunches of radishes.  This will be a big salad week, I hope!
