I got it.
Deb and I are splitting our box, so I met her with my ultra chic cool bag.
I had no idea how much produce we’d be getting so I played it safe and brought a HUGE bag.
The fact that it’s insulated and kept it fresh until I had time to sort it and wash it was BONUS.
This means it had to wait until this morning. I can’t possibly be expected to take pictures at night.
Pictures of produce are life changing, so I knew I had to get it right.
pumpkin for baking Thanksgiving treats; and an ENORMOUS avocado.
persimmons, red carrots (RED?? really) and some apples.
We are an apple short now.
we are having some debate over what this is. At first I thought it was swiss chard, but I googled it for it’s nutritional content and saw they are red (the stalk anyways) so now I think it’s a bok choy.
either way, we like it.
some lovely greens.
squash, that lil punkin again and a YAM the size of JJ’s head.

a bundle of fresh herbs.
Come back later to see what we cook up!

Wow..that looks like a lot of food for half the basket! I do find it funny when you get a fruit or veggie you can’t identify (it’s been a while, but once or twice I’ve had supermarket cashiers ask what something is!)

WOW! Those veggies look amazing! Can’t wait to see what you do with them…finding ways of using unusual foods was always the most challenging part of my CSA, back when I had one!
cheers!

Mmm I want to try those red carrots! I’ve had the yellow and purple ones before, but never red! I’ve never had a persimmon either!

Wonderful!! That is white chard. It comes in red, yellow stemmed or white stemmed! Your’s is gorgeous. I have red chard in my fridge awating a garlic saute. Bok Choi is much smaller.
Yes red carrots and I’ve seen purple carrots too! I think it’s so cool that you are sharing a CSA! Have you been to the farm? Some of them have bee hives tucked away at the borders. If you ask, and they host a beekeeper’s hives, they might show them to you.
Sooooo sorry for my absence but you understand my family situation. Times are tough again for now but I never forget you and will peek in to what you are up to when I can.
JJ is such a good sport isn’t he? hahaha
Love this post!

What a fabulous bag of produce. I never used to be able to appreciate such a thing but at the ripe age of 35 I totally get it know!
Happy Sunday Cindy. Love the photo of JJ!
