Farm pickup today. For dinner, I made a salad out of parts of most of the bounty -- lettuce, arugula, spinach, radish, turnip, cilantro, oregano, beautiful shiny purple scallions. We can opt to get homemade organic mozarella, so I got a piece and chopped some into the salad. I also added capers, toasted almond slices, chopped apple, and chick peas.
I made a funky side dish -- kale tossed in oil and a little vinegar (and salt and chili) and baked until crispy. I liked it; Mr. P did not think it was worth repeating, though he ate it eagerly. I think it looked a little too much like dried seaweed which he's mostly unsure about.
Dessert, in part, consisted of fresh-picked organic strawberries, shiny and lusciously red.
Tomorrow, I'll make something with the two varieties of broccoli we got. And the following night, I'll try to attack the overwhelming amount of spinach we have on hand. A guest is coming for lunch on Saturday, so I'll try to reserve some of the greens for a nice salad for her.
