bounty!

Yesterday I picked up my first ever winter share! Yay! I expected a lot, and even though what I got met my expectations...it's still a lot of food!

The share (if I can remember it all!):
  • Four produce bags of root veggies, including carrots, beets, turnips, and rutabagas. I found out recently that I liked baked rutabaga, with the sweetness of a turnip and the meatiness of a potato. I think that if it had a cuter name, more people would eat it.
  • 4 stalks of Brussels sprouts. This looks immense and ridiculous all together. Perhaps I'll post a pic at some point, since a lot of people haven't seen how these things grow.
  • 1 cabbage.
  • 1 kohlrabi.
  • 1 peck of assorted apples.
  • 1 bag of lettuce.
  • 4 onions.
  • 6 bulbs of garlic.
  • 1 handful of parsley.
  • 1 handful of cilantro.
  • 8 pounds of potatoes.
  • 3 crowns of kale or collard greens.
  • 10 leeks.
  • 2 butternut squash.
  • 5 assorted squash.
  • 1 apple pie!
It's possible I missed one or two things. I'll be bringing a lot of veggies home for Thanksgiving this year, along with a ham from Chestnut Farms. Such excitement!
