the remaking of a kitchen

our second csa delivery happened today. pretty disappointing. don talked to the deliverer and she said that they really needed rain.....they are suddenly in a dry period and just at the wrong time. we got mostly the same stuff as last week, along with some mixed greens, some garlic scapes, a SMALL amount of chard and dandelion greens yet. another stir fry and some salad will happen. i am hoping to have something in a color other than green one of these weeks. sigh.
our cold spring really really hurt the growers!

i suspect the rhubarb will be in a dessert, pie, crisp - something of that nature. the greens became a stir fry this evening.....served with some couscous cooked in chicken broth. the greens included arugula, micro pac choi, mizuna, a spicy mix that included mustards and more arugula, chinese greens, romaine and green garlic. i stir fried it in a combo of olive and sesame oils and tossed it with some seasoned rice vinegar. it was amazingly tasty!

today we received our first csa delivery.....and we really wondered if it would happen. it didn't arrive until 8pm.....we suspect they had trouble finding some addresses this first time....and probably ours was one of them. anyway, finally! we got various greens, a very few radishes, 2 green garlics, edible flowers and rhubarb. this is our share after gary took his.....i think (i hope!) that we will get more as the season advances. we have had a very chilly wet spring, and that played havoc with any early plantings.
