Hi everyone, Jess here to present the 5th CSA pickup of the winter season! I hope you are enjoying the winter so far, as well as all these lovely goodies!
- Mushrooms– (From Western, MA – I’m thinking a stroganoff this week!)
- Rainbow Carrots– (Store like the beets – I’m reading that a limp carrot can be revived by cutting off the top and setting the cut end into ice water for a spell? I have yet to try this, but if you do, we’d love to hear the verdict!)
- Onions (Store away from the potatoes- with the other bulbs is ok, in cool dry place)
- Beets (Rinse and store in a bag in the fridge with a little moisture in it)
- Potatoes (Store in a cool dry place, away from the bulbs)
- Shallots (Store away from the potatoes- with the other bulbs is ok, in cool dry place)
- Spinach– (Store in the fridge)
- Parsley– (Snip stems and strip the low leaves off , so only the bare stems will be immersed when you put them in a glass of water. Keep on a cool area, like a wintry windowsill, and change the water often)
- Lettuce– (remove from core, rinse and put in a damp bag)
- Sweet Potato – (Store with the potatoes)
- Garlic – (Store with other bulbs)
- Tully Farms Milk – (I received a cream and whole milk)
- Pork – (I received bacon and Hot Italian Sausage)
- Eggs – (Fridgebound)
- Tomatoes– (From Backyard Farms, Maine)
That’s about it on this end! I’m going through a slow cooking phase at the moment, so I’ll probably be posting a few “slow and low” meals this week. If you have any questions, and are looking for little extra motivation regarding a particular veggie, simply reach out and I’ll be happy to share some ideas, I’m here to help! Thanks for reading, and see you back here for the next addition of the Springdell Show and Tell!
