gina_r_snapeI just realized I forgot to post my CSA haul for the week. Last week I gave my share to my share partner as I knew I'd be away. This week makes 19 of 20. One more to go! If I'm honest, I will say that while I'm deeply glad to have joined it, I am a bit exhausted now. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sketchybrunette, ever the foodie and organically committed, has joined a winter share and I am on the fence about joining it too. The pickup is only once a month, but it's not in my neighborhood. And I just know I will be fighting with myself over pickup if we have a terrible winter. But it sounds like they'll get some good stuff, and all things that I eat on a regular basis. Onions, potatoes, other root veggies, eggs and dairy products (you get a choice of organic dairy products or meat). Potatoes are on the "dirty dozen" list, so the incentive to buy organic is pretty high. Plus, I really love the idea of supporting a local farmer.
But I digress. Here is this week's list:
Eggplant
Pumpkin
Acorn Squash
Sweet potatoes
Kale
Collard Greens
Cilantro
Empire Apples
Winesap Apples (my favorite!)
Pears
jug of Cider
I swapped with my share, she took all the collards and I took all the kale; And I gave her the pumpkin and acorn squash for extra eggplant. I am allergic to roasted pumpkin seeds and her kids can have fun carving the pumpkin anyway. Plus, I still have some calabaza left. It was a very large wedge.
This morning I cooked up an egg with some onions and a sweet potato for breakfast. Soooo yummy. Here's hoping it keeps me sated most of the day. I was unnervingly hungry all day yesterday.
This weekend is looking to be crazy busy. But I'm especially looking forward to Sunday as the Merchant House Museum is hosting their annual reenactment of a Victorian Funeral. They host it at the museum, and then you follow a procession to the Marble Cemetery (which is rarely open to the public). They encourage people to dress in Victorian mourning outfits, so I will be repurposing my Widow Snape outfit, meeting up withvraidaae, and going with drfardook will of course be photographing everything. CAN'T WAIT!
And now I've got a stack of papers to grade. Fingers crossed I can get them done before class tonight.
