CSA

Thanks to a tip from Kali, last month we joined a CSA. It stands for community supported agriculture. Basically, a farmer near phoenix has a bunch of different land at different elevations and farms a bunch of different things. Steve goes every Monday to a place near the university to pick up our shares. We never know what we are going to get for the week until pick-up day. This is cool because we have to be creative, but can stink because we can't buy everything we need for the week at TJ's on Sunday because we don't know what vegetables we need to incorporate. At least we are forced to try some new things. On the menu this evening were purple carrots (they taste like regular carrots, but are much more fun to look at)....... .......and Russian kale. the kale was cooked with a yellow onion and garlic, both also from the CSA.
