Happy Thursday!
Thursdays are one of my favorite days of the week because I get to go pick up my CSA Share. Yay!
This was a good week because I got a bunch of things that I'm comfortable with so I know I'll eat them.
No challenges this week! Well, no challenge with knowing what to do with the food. I did have a bit of a challenge getting the food home, though. I had to ride my bike to the co-op location, and then balance two shopping bags full of vegetables on my handle bars. Luckily, the co-op is only a mile from my apartment, but I still had to do a lot of tricky balancing. A few times when I got some momentum, the bags started swinging around, and I got a little nervous, but everyone made it home safe and sound. :)
Moral of the story: I need a basket for my bike.
Most of you probably know that I really like taking pictures of my CSA share.
It's fun, and the lighting is really nice around the time I get home.
So, please enjoy this veggie and fruit photoshoot:
Recap of this week's share:
1 pint Blueberries
1 head Bok Choy
3 Summer squash
1/2 lb Spinach
1 1/4 lb Pea pods
3 Cucumbers
1 head of Lettuce
Also, I have some fun news: this Sunday, I'm going to another Boston Blogger Meet-up. Me, Tracy, Sara, Sarah, and possibly Tessa are going to have brunch at Upstairs on the Square in Harvard Square. I absolutely adore this place so I'm really excited. If you are a Boston Blogger in the area, and would like to come, send me and email/tweet/comment! The more the merrier. :)

Dad's Birthday & Father's Day Celebrations + Kohlrabi fries
We celebrated Father's Day and my Dad's Birthday (which was Saturday) on Sunday. We headed to the 99 for lunch and then opened gifts and had cake and ice cream at home.
| My Southwest fire grilled Cobb Salad. Amazing |
| Dad's chocolate cake! |
| Happy Birthday! |
| Yes, that is a sword you see across the bottom of the picture. |
| My share of the cake and ice cream. Yum! |
Kohlrabi is "a member of the brassica family, those nutrient-dense cabbages (as well as kales, brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower) whose phytochemicals are highly regarded for their antioxidant properties." Source.
Definitely a new taste for me. I read that Kohlrabi "taste[s] like fresh, crunchy broccoli stems accented by radish. The name kohlrabi comes from the German kohl, meaning cabbage, and rabi, or turnip."
I'm glad this vegetable was in our farm share this week because otherwise I probably wouldn't have ever tried it. Another perk of joining the CSA!
