…our weekly CSA haul! It’s yet another bountiful late summer week:
After we split our share it was dinner time. We started with a little raw appetizer:
The orange ones were so sweet and tomato-y! I’m always excited when I can taste actual “tomato-ness” and not just mushy water when I eat a tomato.
We hadn’t thawed any meat or planned any other protein source, so we winged it with an impromptu menu of canned salmon sandwiches garnished with fresh CSA cukes and lettuce and a Chinese broccoli and eggplant stir-fry. We got to chopping:
and ended up with this:
This meal was a rousing success. I love canned salmon but Trent does not, so I usually just have it for lunch occasionally. With the addition of the cukes and lettuce, though, he was into it.
I tried to photograph the salad I made this morning for my lunch later today, but every time I pushed the “take picture” button my camera shut itself off! Ack! Has this ever happened to anyone? I’m really hoping if I leave it alone it will fix itself. Blogging would be rather difficult without a camera.
INCREDIBLE haul and meal!!
No worries about the salad photo – that has happened to me too, haha 😀
Phew, glad I’m not the only one with camera troubles! It seemed to be working tonight, so hopefully it’s ok!
What – beautiful, beautiful veggies! You didn’t want to keep the kohlrabi? It’s one of my faves – very unique and delicious!
I would have loved to try the kohlrabi, but we let it go this week. We got plenty of other great stuff! 🙂
tomatoes that taste like actual tomatoes are one of the best foods in the world.
i’m so spoiled because my parents grew a TON… and then when i got to college i didn’t understand why the ones i was buying at the store were so much less delicious.
now, i grow tomatoes. mmm….
MMM what a lovely haul!
