Food

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...

Minus the six or so that we ate last night. It's Tomato Time.

Recipe developed from desperation and limited ingredients, so the amounts are estimation. 1. Bake a pie crust. 2. In a blender, puree a can of pineapple (with juice), a tub of Greek yogurt, and some powdered sugar to taste. 3. Pour the yogurt mixture into the pie crust. 4. Put in the freezer overnight. 5. Thaw in the refrigerator come morning. 6. Eat. It's okay to eat for breakfast, it's just fruit and yogurt. ;)

Takoyaki 8-piece regular serving, $5, from the Takoyaki Tanota truck at SBDinDinaGoGo, 4/21/11.

Street tacos from the GetYourLardon truck, @SBDinDinAGoGo, 4/28/11.

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

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!

From a canning class at South Bay School of Cooking, 9/2010.

This is the veggie portion of our CSA box this week. We also got five oranges and five apples.

Minus the three bunches of greens that were on top.

First loaf of the autumn here. Made with rye, whole wheat, and unbleached white flours, butter, milk, ricotta cheese, Trader Joe's ginger spread (which is just ginger and sugar), and brewer's yeast flakes.

Spontaneous friends and good Thai food save the day.

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.

Lunch the other day: panini sandwich, spinach salad, hot tea.

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.
