Less Meat!

I've never been to my CSA, but I can take photos when my parents pick from the backyard

Just to clarify: CSA, Community Supported Agriculture is when you pay a farmer(s) a large sum before the growing season to give them the capital they need to grow for the season and support themselves - effectively buying a share of the farm and its production. Occasionally CSA shareholders are asked/required to help with the farm's labor. The farmer(s) then will distribute the bounty on a regular basis to the shareholders. This is often done at a farmers' market where the farmer(s) go to sell their bounty in a more retail fashion, but will also bring separate produce allocated for the shareholders to come pick up during the farmers' market's hours of operation. Sometimes CSA farms will also distribute the bounty directly to the shareholders' homes - this is usually not the case. In other cases, the shareholders must go directly to the farm to collect their regular bounty distribution.

Kitaimdao - Have you ever seen "Home Improvement" on TV? Those pics kind of remind me of Wilson W. Wilson, from that show.

(He only showed his face like 3 or 4 times in the whole run of the TV show, several years. Every time you saw him in the show, all but his eyes were being covered by some prop in the show... fence, counter, stove, etc... Seemed that whatever he was doing when he was addressed, his face was always partially covered.)

I got that... And thank you. I think I've seen them before, but I don't know if I've ever eaten either of them. (I tend to eat things that are grown locally, so I don't get all the "best" fruits and vegetables out there.)

I just humored myself because most of the face in each pic is covered by something, and happened to be watching that show when I looked at the pics.

We have been eating CSA vegetables as much as we can lately, but frankly, it IS a LOT of VEGETABLES!

How to add fun to local organic food? How about dessert?
Last week, my wife, Kristin, made some zucchini bread. MMmmmm. So good.

Tonight, we are going to a friend's housewarming, so we are making zucchini chocolate cake. It started as zucchini brownies, but the recipe was incorrectly doubled, changing the thickness a bit, so we are calling it zucchini cake!

Yes, it is dessert, but it has extra fiber, vitamins, and goodness all hidden inside there.

I highly recommend it with GOOD (no corn syrup, nothing artificial) vanilla ice cream, and bananas. (Too bad bananas aren't local too!)

Tofutti is not close to healthy. It only has traces of tofu, and soy is hard on your system anyway.
