New Green Veggies!

Today, and like every other Tuesday of the week, we (Nate and John) harvested for the CSA shares. There were some familiar sorts including French Breakfast radishes, several varieties of lettuce and Dan Moe's strawberries. Importantly, these items are nothing to turn your gaze from. The most simple foods in life can taste so perfect it makes you teary eyed. Well, that actually happened to me again today, and it has been happening for the last five weeks. I have been eating the most amazing foods from Greg's farm, that it has me considering a taste of tarragon, something I have been avoiding for the last five years. Now, that says a lot. Before this morning, I would have never considered broccoli as a sweet vegetable. However, I was proven wrong when I consumed broccoli from the farm. It was ever so sweet. My mind was thinking, dreaming of what to prepare for dinner if work didn't go late. I wrote up three recipes for the newsletter, yet I thought to make a Thai Peanut Soba Noodle Salad. This way I could incorporate other veggies from the box. Other produce in the box included rapini, chinese cabbage, and snow peas. All which were included in my dinner. However, all will have to wait until tomorrow when I'm not falling asleep while writing. Long days on the farm of full sun and hot, humid weather can be taxing, so it's best to sleep well and for a minimum of 7 hours to recover. Thus, I must retire to my room and rest. Tomorrow thirty 2nd grader's will be touring our farm, so extra energy will be needed.
