Michael Pollan: Twinkie vs Carrot. “Why is it that a bunch of carrots costs more than a package of Twinkies?” Answered in under 2 minutes. Ready, go.

How exactly to FIX the farm bill and actually get it to PASS…probably will require more than a 2 minute video.

Watermelon in the box today!!!! yippee can’t wait to dig in. and I got my workout hauling that box around, it was hea-vy.

It’s CSA Thursday…and I have a mystery item! Farmer Pam from Calvert Farms continues to amaze with the piles of gorgeous veggies she distributes each week. Guesses as to what these two cute little herbs are? I know the one on the left, not sure about the one on the right though…help me out!

CSA Thursdays! No mystery items today, just a gorgeous cornucopia of deliciousness. Happy jojo. The key to participating in a CSA and not letting the food go bad is immediately cutting it up and digging in upon getting it in your house…DONE. Also, having a roommate who is a bottomless pit helps. That would be my husband in this case.

CSA week 4…excited for beautiful red skin potatoes, and a mystery item in the middle!

Latest mystery item from the CSA box! Had to find out from farmer Pam what this was. Any ideas??

gaaa Thursday = new favorite day…CSA day! Quite a leafy haul this week: kale, swiss chard, broccoli, snap peas, asparagus, mixed greens, lettuce of unknown variety, and leeks (I think?). Oh and TWO BOXES of strawberries!!!! I’m in love.

First CSA box of the fall season from Calvert Farm in Cecil County, MD. So excited to see the amazing variety—this was definitely not the box full of chard that I was apprehensively expecting. First meal was a huge, beautiful, nutritious, yummy success:

-sweet potato fries

-sauteed kale and shallots

-oven roasted winter squash

Served with a nice piece of trout (From the grocery store, not from the box).
