3rd CSA of 2010

Filed under: Grub,Photographs — Tags: , , , , , , , — michele james-parham @ 4:46 pm

So, this was today (week three) of our CSA from Penn’s Corner

2010CSA-3

Third CSA Share (21 more to go)

Garlic Scapes
Radicchio
Patty Pan Squash
Red Romain
Strawberries
Snow Peas
Green Head Lettuce
Celery
Thyme
Scallions

Also*
Turnips w/ Greens
Bag of Salad Mix
12+ Baby Carrots w/ Greens
Arrowhead Cabbage
Broccoli
Mystery Greens (I believe they are young Collard Greens)

* some of those listed under ‘Also’ were substituted in place of the half dozen eggs that non-vegan shares get AND apparently, after making a complaint about my bag of salad mix from last week being sub-par, I got a lot of things to replace them and to make up for them being crappy. PCFA gets my vote so far for Best Pittsburgh CSA!

The Asparagus, Broccoli and Acini de pepe ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acini_di_pepe ) were all purchased at the Bellevue Farmer’s Market down the street from the CSA pick-up point.

Hopefully, this year, I can keep up with posting about what we get and possibly how I use some of it.
