And now it's time for…
…our weekly CSA haul! It’s yet another bountiful late summer week:
The haul, before we split it with our partners
Chinese broccoli
TOMATOES!!!!!
Kohlrabi - our CSA partners got this
We got the cukes, garlic, and cherry toms
After we split our share it was dinner time. We started with a little raw appetizer:
The orange ones were so sweet and tomato-y! I’m always excited when I can taste actual “tomato-ness” and not just mushy water when I eat a tomato.
We hadn’t thawed any meat or planned any other protein source, so we winged it with an impromptu menu of canned salmon sandwiches garnished with fresh CSA cukes and lettuce and a Chinese broccoli and eggplant stir-fry. We got to chopping:
I can't believe we have fresh garlic!!
and ended up with this:
This meal was a rousing success. I love canned salmon but Trent does not, so I usually just have it for lunch occasionally. With the addition of the cukes and lettuce, though, he was into it.
I tried to photograph the salad I made this morning for my lunch later today, but every time I pushed the “take picture” button my camera shut itself off! Ack! Has this ever happened to anyone? I’m really hoping if I leave it alone it will fix itself. Blogging would be rather difficult without a camera.

INCREDIBLE haul and meal!!
No worries about the salad photo – that has happened to me too, haha
What – beautiful, beautiful veggies! You didn’t want to keep the kohlrabi? It’s one of my faves – very unique and delicious!
tomatoes that taste like actual tomatoes are one of the best foods in the world.
i’m so spoiled because my parents grew a TON… and then when i got to college i didn’t understand why the ones i was buying at the store were so much less delicious.
now, i grow tomatoes. mmm….
MMM what a lovely haul!
I would have loved to try the kohlrabi, but we let it go this week. We got plenty of other great stuff!
Phew, glad I’m not the only one with camera troubles! It seemed to be working tonight, so hopefully it’s ok!
