CSA Delivery #9

[No picture this time because I wasn't actually here when it was picked up. Instead, I was at CONvergence. Yes, I'm still playing catch-up.]

Contents: Garlic Scapes, Green Leaf Lettuce,Purple Scallions, Snow Peas, White Turnips, Swiss Chard, Strawberries. New this week: snow peas (which I'm very fond of), Swiss chard (which is stunningly gaudy).

What I made
Chicken Piccata-ish, a variation - Swiss chard, 2 garlic scapes. Swapped Swiss chard for spinach, garlic scapes for garlic, lemon juice for 1 lime, and cider for white wine. The original recipe is best, but this was still good and quite pretty.
Mashed Turnips and Potatoes with Horseradish Bread Crumbs - 2 scallions, turnips, and the last of the preserved horseradish. Not that great.
* For the same meal, used the lettuce to make a salad with lettuce, carrot, cheddar cheese, and croutons.
Strawberry freeze-pops of my own devising - after the first few days, used remaining strawberries for smoothies and freeze-pops.

Details of the Day

• 06:52 Weather forecast + ominous clouds = not a good day for biking to/from work.
• 14:32 The cats are of the opinion that in this weather, the only thing to do is to sprawl over any cool surface and nap. It's hard to disagree.
• 15:59 Just picked a pint of sun-warm raspberries from my backyard. Feeling decadent.
