as october continues to fly by, i’m finding my time is spent frantically eating the last of my csa greens while trying to spend as much time out in the world as possible. my friend sarah expressed this this conundrum well when i asked her to join me for pizza at the new vegan spot in town. she accepted then admitted how guilty she feels knowing what she should be eating. i think when you have enough turnips silently judging you in your refrigerator such that you are forced to stay home, make tons of vegetables with friends, and save money… it’s not such a bad set up.
my time in the kitchen has been with some of these goodies…
apple crisp with local apples, of course- all varieties!
lasagna – i was desperate for something warm and substantially unvegetable, but managed to sneak some csa turnip greens, green peppers and home grown basil, parsley and rosemary.
wild farmer-foraged chicken of the woods and hen of the woods mushrooms went into a miso-wine sauce with tofu and greens, served over race- SO amazing! i consumed almost 1.5 lbs. of mushrooms all by myself. chicken of the woods (the orange ones) have a texture so like chicken that it’s quite disconcerting!
pumpkin chocolate chip muffins – finally i’m getting around to eating my favorite squash of the season!
i have big plans for the upcoming fall and summer, but am going to try to get out of my future plan zone and make more food for/with friends and family before i leave boston!
Let me know when we can meetup to cook together!
Happy Birthday!
