CSA

[Guest guest]

-> Hi, I'm Lisa from New Jersey. This summer, our family has a share in

-> an organic farm and it seems

x

I did that one summer and *loved* it. Community-Supported Agriculture,

it's called here; you pay at the beginning of the season for a share of

a local organic farm's crop, and then you get deliveries weekly or

whatever all season long of whatever's coming in. Wish I could still

do it; I would, in a heartbeat.

-> that don't require me to buy another vegetable. I've spent hours been

searching my recipe link

-> page at www.geocities.com/Heartland/Grove/6756/recipes.html and have found a

few recipes, but with

-> three kids and one on the way, I can always use more quick and simple

recipes.

Nearly any two or three (or four or five or ten) vegetables, some dried

beans or tofu and a few herbs can be made into soup; just 'cause it

isn't a flavor combination you've tried before, or there isn't a written

recipe somewhere that recommends it, doesn't mean you won't like it. I

made a very tasty soup last week with cauliflower, green beans, lettuce,

celery and half an onion; that was what I had on hand, and with some

salt and rosemary and a little red pepper, it stewed up great.

x

Some milk or soymilk would've made it even better, but I didn't have

any, and that's okay, it was still good So I added some red beans for

protein; coulda been tofu, but I had leftover red beans to use up.

Also, nearly any cooked vegetable is good with cheese sauce. I can't

think of an exception. And there aren't any vegetables I know of

(including traditionally " salad " stuff like lettuce and cucumbers)

you can't cook. x

So my advice would be to stop worrying too much what the recipes say and

just try what you've got. Fresh veggies are all good and they all go

together; with the possible exception of really zingy radishes,

which not everybody likes in cooked dishes, nothing really clashes.
