Week 1
Items in sack:
- savoy spinach
- sorrel
- red leaf lettuce
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 quart chandler strawberries
- 2 tiny globe artichokes
- paper lunch sack filled with wee baby onions just been born
- artisan wheat boule
What I did with it:
I made a giant strawberry and spinach salad except it was a strawberry, spinach, sorrel, and red lettuce salad. I just used one of the 100,000,000 recipes for the dressing that can be found on teh innernets. I used some of the onions for the dressing and in the salad.
I roasted the artichokes with thyme and under each artichoke I put a lemon wheel and a clove of garlic. To fill the rest of the dish I roasted one of the sweet potatoes. The Silver Fox doesn't like artichokes and never has, a fact I discovered after I served them to him.
There were leftover strawberries. I hulled them, spread them on a sheet pan, stuck them in the freezer 'til they were frozen, then put them in a zip-top freezer bag, where they will wait for me throughout the Summer and Autumn. If they last that long.
The bread got eaten by the slice with lots of butter.
Week 2
Items in sack:
- another round loaf of wheat bread
- very small clingstone peaches
- quart of strawberries
- white waxy potatoes
- small bunch of beets
- savoy spinach
- I think I've forgotten something
What I did with it:
Okay, honestly, this bread is going to be the death of me.
Ate some peaches out of hand, but sliced most of them and froze them. Also froze the strawberries.
Had a spinach salad with some turkey kielbasa. Made a root veggie roast-up of beets, potatoes, and the other sweet potato from the week before. The Silver Fox has decreed that "beets don't suck."
Week 3
Items in sack:
- A big beet
- carrots
- more peaches
- bok choy
- sorrel
- 2 small zucchini
- another sack o' onions
- a square, flat loaf of bread with oats on it
What I did with it:
Asian turkey lettuce wraps! I used Kalyn's recipe. From the sack, I used onions, sorrel leaves, carrots, and zucchini. From the store I used iceberg lettuce, hothouse cucumber, Nam Pla from the Winchester Farmer's Market in the hood, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and chili garlic sauce. I skipped the peanuts. I like my wraps to have lots of veggies, so the sorrel, carrots, zucchini, and cucumber were just wrapped up in the lettuce with the meat stuff.
I sauteed the bok choy with garlic and ginger and served it as a side.
The peaches got eaten sliced on my cottage cheese every morning. The Silver Fox just eats them whole. Well, I'm pretty sure he doesn't eat the pits.
I haven't done anything with the beet yet, and the rest of the zucchini I'll snack on as crudités.
The bread was gone in about 2 days.
We get another sack tomorrow...stay tuned.
