3rd CSA of 2010
So, this was today (week three) of our CSA from Penn’s Corner
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!
1st & 2nd CSA of 2010

Beet Greens (with a couple incredibly freaking cute tiny baby beets)
Strawberries
Sugar Snap Peas
French Tarragon
Stir-Fry Greens Mix
Second CSA Share (22 more to go)

Bag of Salad Mix

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.
Catching Up: A Monkey Platter & Affogato
It’s been awhile since I posted a picture of a monkey platter. Elijah has been eating more of “our” food and not grazing as much as usual. I’ve also just not been taking pictures of his food…frankly, “the lazy” has been working for me lately. I like “the lazy”.

It’s been awhile since we’ve stopped in at one of our favorite coffeeshop, Affogato. Too long of awhile.

who knew rocks could be so fun?
There’s more graffiti in Bellevue @ Affogato.
Catching Up: Elijah’s Birthday Week
Elijah turned 6 years old on September 18th. Yeah, 6…it’s craaaaazzzy. His “birthday week” stretched from Sunday, September 6th until Sunday, September 13th. Here are some highlights…
Mr. Freaky Pants the 1st
stained glass
homemade Lego kits
E's first set of wheels (not counting my old trike); courtesy of my parents.
pirates! (dead ones at that)
extra snuggles with his favorite person
wine cork blow dart guns
people & somewhere there's pet rocks
new Legos
musical entertainment
cake, candles & wishes...there might have been some ice cream too!
I mentioned cake, right?
The following picture pretty much summed up the entire experience for Elijah.
WTF guys?
It was a LONG week. We cleaned. We ate. We shopped. We made stuff. We cried. We screamed. We made new friends. We learned a lot. We saw people. We broke things. We fought over toys. We bitched about random occurrences. We loved. We laughed. We got tons of phone calls. We opened gifts from many miles away. We sang (but not “Happy Birthday”). We will do it all over again next year…all while simultaneously hating & loving it!
Many “happy” returns, Elijah.
