Catching up - CSA's and all things yummy

I haven't posted forever here. It was for no reason other then life got super busy. I moved to a new home with very little garden space (ack) but remedied that with my first ever community garden space, lots of pots of veggies and a subscription to a local CSA (community supported agriculture). The idea is you pay for a subscription and each week they deliver to you. Not only did I have limited garden space this year but I also have injured my leg. I took a hard fall which resulted in a chipped kneecap and a torn MCL. No hard work this year . . .shoveling would be impossible, so is much kneeling, digging etc. SO, instead I am doing small gardening and a CSA. I thought it would be fun to post my box each week as well as what we are doing with our CSA subscription. I will post recipes and show some pics of the good as well.

This weeks box included a large bag of spinach (thats going to be spinach salad tomorrow), a bag of salad greens, a head of lettuce, three big kohlrabi (I have never made that so unsure what to do yet) Beets, leeks, green garlic, kale, chard, broccoli, cabbage, parsley and some pretty flowers. My tentative plan is to eat the greens first and leave the broccoli, cabbage and beets for later in teh week. We have a trip to California for the weekend planned so we may share some of this food so it doesn't go bad.

Tonights dinner: Garlic roasted pork loin, greens and roasted veggies.
Friday: Spinach salad

The BEST spinach salad (a complete meal!)

Fresh spinach leaves
crispy crumbled bacon
hard boiled eggs chopped or sliced
chopped or sliced water chestnuts
bean sprouts

Combine these ingredients and toss with the salad
1/4 C sugar (or honey or splenda or whatever . . . to taste - its forgiving!)
1/2 C oil (we use olive)
1/2 tbsp worchestichire (we always forget this part)
1/8 C vinegar (cider is good, so is rice)
1/2 C minced onion
1/4 C Ketchup

This is so good. My kids beg for it all year long. We make it at least once a month.
