csa week eight.

another sunday and another csa box.  am i bored of it yet?  NO NOT EVEN A LITTLE.  this is great.  how convenient that the earth likes to grow different things as the seasons progress...  keepin' me on my toes but still giving me some old standbys.  thanks earth!

so here's the breakdown:

3 peaches (oh boy i am still not over the fact that PEACHES come in this csa box)
4 tomatoes
boston lettuce
kale
arugula
a purple eggplant
a white eggplant!
radishes (i have never used radishes before!!)
2 cucumber
4 ears of corn
5 potatoes (i am thinking all-reds)


can we just reflect for a moment that this is a half share.  so much food!  i would be spending so much more money on this if i were buying this same stuff in a supermarket every week.  plus it wouldn't be even close to as good.  oh and my conscience would be cringing.

if you want more info on signing up for the csa next year and the size and price options they have, take a peek at the stillman's farm website!

here are some photos of a few of the items in this bounty:

eggplant friends.

lovely radishes!

two cucumbers really arranged embarrassingly on a plate...don't judge!

a HUGE head of kale (a new favorite this summer).
