It's a fair amount of work, for me at least, to wash what needs to be washed and use things up before they go bad. If I hadn't had a trial summer by getting a few half boxes for a few weeks last summer when friends went out of town, I probably would have passed again. I'll see how things go. You'll notice how many of this week's items would appeal to a 5yo and 3yo boy: zip. So G and I will be eating lots of greens on our own this week.

We have a lot of different farms--some have waiting lists of a year or more (MSU's organic, year-round CSA), and others don't. I just scoped out the farmer's market till I found one I liked with no waiting list. This is our third year, and I find myself at a loss when it's finished. Ours starts Tuesday!

Get out a bit of salt and chomp. I think it is Kholrabi that can be used raw: peel and slice it into rounds. Get out a bit of salt and chomp.

I've been told that out here (Portland, OR) there are waiting lists of more than a year to get involved in CSAs. It never would've occurred to me that "too popular" would be a problem. Jealous!
