Today we got:
Turnips 3.25# (52.3 oz),
Kale 14.95 oz, and
Lettuce 9.5 oz on the top row.
Chard 7.45 oz,
Strawberries 10 oz,
Garlic Scapes 2.4 oz,
Mint 2.8 oz, and
Napa 4# (63 oz.) on the bottom.
I wanted to do a light pickle on some of the turnips, and I found this recipe for what are essentially refrigerator pickles. The batch I made was 2# turnips, 1# carrots, and a 3/4 batch of the pickling solution. We also had some cabbage hearts in the fridge so I prepared them the same way and put them in some leftover liquid. We'll see how they turn out.
FYI, Shade is on the back of the chair because someone had a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. That's practically Shade bait. Chewbacca is there because he's lovable.
Dark, dark reddish Brown. Mostly smells of slightly piney hops, a little chocolate and a little spice. Smooth. The chocolate roast and the hops fight for dominance on your palate on a background of rye. The flavors alternate, and are wonderfully balanced.
Quite a good beer.
I just picked up the first week of our CSA, and this is everything we got. In the bags at the top there we have lettuce on the left and spinach on the right. The bunches from left to right are a hakurei turnips (a sweet spring variety you eat raw), scallions, kale, dill, dandelion greens, and komatsuna (an Asian green in the turnip/cabbage family).
I'm going to do the math at the end of the season, so here are the weights:
4# Turnips
3.8 oz scallions
10.7 oz kale
2.1 oz dill
10 oz dandelion greens
11.7 oz komatsuna
7.9 oz lettuce
8.6 oz spinach
