Dinner last night--crockpot green curry soup with CSA cabbage, green onions, and carrots, over rice and under fried tofu.

Okay, I actually persuaded a picky ten-year-old that golden beets, fried up in butter with lots of salt, were almost like french fries.

Made today from a bunch of small summer squashes we got in the CSA box. (The grapefruit was also from the CSA box.) Very moist!

Couscous with cilantro, wilted greens, and peanut sauce. Cilantro and greens are from the CSA box this week.

Made with the radishes, onions, and radish greens in our CSA box last week--plus shrimp, scallops, and calamari, plus cashews, plus a broth full of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. No recipe, just chopping and simmering...

Made from the whole bunch of spinach in our CSA box from last week, and a pepper from the CSA box, and two tomatoes from our garden. Rye/wheat crust is made from scratch, because today was a great rainy day for baking.

This week's goodies include apples, zucchini, carrots, onions, cabbage, spinach, two kinds of lettuce, green beans, and a jar of strawberry jam. Which I'm going to try right now.

We got apples, pears, potatoes, carrots, beets, cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, green beans, and a whole lotta lettuce this week. Happy chopping!

We got apples, fuyu persimmons, broccoli, baby carrots, basil, cabbage, yellow beans, mixed greens, lettuce, and swiss chard.

Much of our Christmas dinner was based on produce from Tanaka Farms, received in our CSA box about a week ago. The greens in the salad, the onions and potatoes in the scalloped potatoes, the parsley and onions on the salmon, and the steamed broccoli and cauliflower, all from the CSA. (The tomatoes in the salad are also local--late bloomers from our yard.)

Our box from Tanaka Farms today contained apples, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, butter lettuce, baby greens, baby spinach, and parsley.

A magenta heart to greet February! Beets and red cabbage from recent CSA boxes. Recipe suggested by my friend Rubi and cobbled from several online (just four ingredients: shredded beets, shredded red cabbage, garlic powder, and a small amount of mayonnaise). I didn't think I liked beets. Now I think I love them.

What we got this time in our Tanaka Farms box: celery, carrots, spinach, lettuce, baby maui onions, potatoes, green beans, apples, broccoli, cilantro. An excellent supply of basics!

A close up of some of the goodies this week--green cauliflower, strawberries, avocado, cilantro, tangerines (I think--never can remember the differences between all the various tangerine-like fruits). Added to "A Month of Gratitude" 11/1/10. I am grateful for good fresh local food year-round, through a program that also benefits our PTA.

Visible here: squash, carrots, onion, tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit, kale, corn, watermelon. There were some other things too. Excellent colorful week!
