Yum. And now we have a fridge *full* of vegetables.

Our CSA is over for the next four months as of yesterday. However, they are still doing "guerilla deliveries" twice a month - they show up around a restaurant who normally buys their vegetables, people pick up produce, and the restaurant gets some more traffic for a Thursday night. Everybody wins.

Tonight was at Piccino, a pizza place just over the hill from us. We've been there several times now and it's quite good, so it didn't take too much convincing. bonacorsi and I split a nettle/roasted garlic/ricotta pizza and a sausage/roasted cipollini onion pizza. They were both quite good, although the sausage pizza really hit home for me.

We also have a large bag of vegetables to tide us over for the next few weeks (ha ha): tomatoes, green and yellow Romano beans, baby carrots, purple carrots, red carrots, potatoes, tatsoi greens, collard greens, soup celery, mustard greens, watermelon radishes, parsley root, chives, and sweet peppers! I think it's more than the usual CSA box which we split with the upstairs neighbors. Now I have to figure out how to use these things.

oo! blanch the three colors of carrots and jar them up in a simple cider vinegar/sugar/cinnamon/candied ginger pickle.

soo pretty! (tho with time they all end up sort monochrome, but still!)

my csa basket goes "year round" but the winter stuff is definately less interesitng, so I've put it on hold for a bit
