It is Thursday again! CSA delivery, #3:
Strawberries- a large carton. I will dip some of them in dark chocolate ganache (melted chocolate mixed with a dash of heavy cream). I will top some of them with whipped cream.
More garlic scapes!-I didn't know that they were in season so long! This batch is going to become garlic scape pesto. I'm thinking that it will make a nice pizza sauce. Pesto, fontina cheese, crimini mushrooms, and proscuitto.
Radishes with their greens- I like the greens raw on salads. I'm tempted to try braising the radishes, but I worry that all the zip will be boiled away, so I will likely eat them raw.
Salad mix- you might think I'd be sick of it by now. But somehow, it has disappeared before the due date every week so far. I still need to make salmon nicoise salad. I'm also planning on topping a salad with blackened tilapia and dressing with lemon vinaigrette.
Escarole- finally, a hefty and sauteeable green! Usually I like to put escarole in soup. It's kinda warm for that right now. I plan to saute this giant head with garlic scapes and green onions and dress with olive oil and lemon juice.
Green onions- will garnish most salads and the escarole saute.
Romaine lettuce head- its destiny will likely be caesar salad. Yes, of course I put anchovies in my caesar dressing!
Last week, Trixie discovered that she loves a little spinach shredded over her kibble.

Having just gotten back from the grocery store, I'll have you know that I have a bunch of lettuce, some frozen pie crusts, and some gruyère. I totally blame you for that.
Of course, I can't blame you for the neck bones and ox tails. I need that so I can make a pho broth from scratch. When I make that, I'll let you know how it came out.
