After my meltdown, I decided to take some action and actually do something about my dilemma. It was perfect timing when I heard from a friend that she was doing a CSA, and asked me if I wanted to split it. YES please! So after much anticipation, I did my first CSA pick up a week ago. Some veggies were familiar, others a little foreign to me. We were able to swap some items if we wished, but I really wanted to try the items I wasn’t familiar with, and opted to swap spinach for more broccoli rabe (which I can’t get enough of). So, this is the start of my “What’s in the Basket?” column.
