Lettuce

As much as I wish I could love 'em, I've never been a huge fan of lettuce-based salads.  I think it comes down to laziness.  Lettuce is something that needs to be washed, dried... loved.  So when we get heads of lettuce in the CSA it's hard for me to finish them up.  

This week I picked out a small head of red leaf lettuce and threw it in the bag.  Unbeknownst to me, it was sitting right next to the dill.  When we had a small side salad with a simple balsamic vinaigrette it had a slight hint of dill... and it was delicious!  Aside from the flavor of dill, the lettuce itself was much, much tastier than any lettuce you'll ever get at the grocery store.  CSA: 1, grocery store: 0. 

CSA week 5

After being out of the country for 2 weeks (London and Tokyo for work) and then on City Island for the 4th of July, I came back home to pick up week 5 of our CSA: 

• Red leaf lettuce
  
• 1 lb, 12 oz. of summer squash
• 1 lb, 12 oz. of pickles
• bunch of carrots
• 2 lbs new potatoes
• 4 oz. basil
• bunch of flat leaf kale
• 1 bulb of fresh garlic

Edit: I forgot to include the dill.
