I picked up my first CSA (consumer supported agriculture) allotment today. As I expected, I'm eating a bigger variety of vegetables. Tonight I got 2 dozen radishes, a head of red lettuce, a head of romaine lettuce, 20 spears of asparagus, a pint of green beans and a pint of snap peas and 2 cups of strawberries. There weren't many strawberries but the taste of these strawberries was more intense than what you can buy in a box at Cub. So tonight I ate some asparagus, some romaine, one radish and all the strawberries. Radishes, man, I just don't like radishes. I ate one just to be sure I still don't like them. I found out I still don't like them. And they don't like me either. I already gave 1 dozen to a neighbor. I remember sometimes my Mom would make her potato salad with radishes and sometimes without radishes. I would be very disappointed if she included the radishes. They're not easy to pick out when they're diced because the white part looks just like a potato or an onion. So far I'm pleased with what I got. When I picked up my food I was told that last year we got 5 or 6 ears of fresh picked corn almost every week. I'm looking forward to that!
