Taking the plunge

Man, have I been horrible about updating this!

The Eat Local challenge totally fizzled--it was 2 weeks before our wedding and I wasn't prepared and had too many things going on that week to really commit. I'll be ready next year though!

Today, karma hit—I've been waffling about getting a Pete's Greens CSA—I participated the first time they did a winter share and I was really disappointed. BUT I think kinks have been worked out so I'm trying again! I emailed to see if they had any spots left and lo and behold, they had 2--and I know the woman who's in charge so she said she'd hold one for me. I'm warily excited :) Starts on Wednesday!

I've been going through the last of my CSA produce the past few days. Last night I made one of my favorite soups—so easy and vegan as well. I cooked a peeled cubed acorn squash and red kuri in water. When it was really tender, I put it through a food mill and put it back on the stove with fresh lime juice, red Thai curry paste, coconut milk, brown sugar and salt--DELICIOUS!

I have a few delicata calling my name too—want to save those for just roasting later this week.
