Today's CSA yumminess:

Leeks and asparagus (roasted for dinner)
Pistachios (snarfed the second we got home)
Tangelos (I liked them, surprisingly -- I've always hated all tangerines, but these were SO honey-sweet I liked them. Weird.)

Still to come this week:

Spinach (probably make a salad tomorrow)
Carrots and cauliflower (I like 'em raw, so I'll cut them up in the morning and snack on them)
Kiwifruit (I only like them in cassidyrose's salsa, so that's on the schedule for tomorrow)
Red kale (Gonna make lentil, leek, carrot, kale soup for lunch tomorrow, with lots of garlic)

Won tons and beet greens I used some of the remaining organic box to make won tons and greens.  The won tons are filled with TVP, spinach, green garlic, ginger, grated carrot and celery, and hoisin sauce. The beet greens are steamed, tossed with a little margarine, and sprinkled with salt and pepper. The sauce is tamari with sesame oil drizzled on top. someotherguy and I both thought the raw beet stems tasted like there was salt and pepper in them.  Kind of cool. There's another picture at http://pics.livejournal.com/serenejournal/gallery/0001e37f , but it's pretty much the same.

Breakfast was one of our standards -- store-bought O'Brien potatoes, sauteed with water, seasoned salt, and pepper. Eggs for the gang, none for me.

For lunch, I made a really decent fat-free coleslaw, but now someotherguy wants to use it as the veggie for dinner (he's making steak hash for himself and sogwife, I'm having barbecued Riblets, because I've been craving them, and that's what I wanted the cole slaw for). And now, of course, I have no idea what I'm having for lunch, but maybe just soup and crackers.

I'll post the recipe for the cole slaw once I get it into MasterCook.

Today, I'm hoping to spend some time doing some meal planning. I eat more veggies when I *plan* for more veggies, and I've really been craving fresh food, so no better time to try new recipes and stuff.

Next week, we start getting our organic produce box, too, so it'll be fun to find ways to use the variety of stuff we get.
