I’ve been working on reordering some of my categories this week, sort of a “spring cleaning” for the blog moment. (My office got it too – no more iguanas hiding in piles, maybe?) In the process, I discovered that I write about food. A ton. More, probably, than I write about any one other thing. Instantly I jumped on myself, “You should write about food less. I bet people are getting bored about reading about food.”
On my last post on CSAs, one of you mentioned in the comments that a breakdown of money-paid/food-received in my CSA share would be helpful. As I mentioned before, I didn’t do a weight/cost thing each week, which would have been particularly useful for this post. However, part of the reason I never did this was because the amount of food we received was a) above and beyond what was expected and b) easily exceeded the amount of food we would have gotten for the same dollar figure at the farmers market. That missing data aside, here’s what we’re left with for this year’s CSA share.
My CSA share will be ending in a few weeks and I never got around to writing my “just joined a CSA” post. But this is goodbye, at least until next year when it picks back up again. We have a couple more loads of storage vegetables and then we’re hunkering down for the winter. Which is good, because it’s getting cold here!
This week, most of my spare time has been devoted to this… I am new to canning, and the first couple of days that I plugged away at this pile of produce (from Sustainable Eats Tomato Army Order), I felt like I had ordered way too much and gotten myself in over my head. I didn’t know what I was doing, so every batch was accompanied by endless internet searches and second-guessing.
