1st june pickup

wow, it's so exciting as the growing season gets warmer here in vermont. things have picked up the past few weeks thanks to pete's greenhouses. our pickup last night included:

Mesclun Greens; Head of Green or Red Lettuce; 2 lbs Nicola Potatoes; 1 Bunch of Basil; 1 Bunch Sweet Salad Turnips; 1 Bunch of Beet Greens; 1 Bunch of Sorrel; 1 Bunch of Wild Arugula; 1 Bunch of Easter Egg Radishes; 1 Bunch of Pac Choi, 1 Bunch of Parsley, 1 Bunch of Red Giant Mustard, Vermont Cranberry Company Balsamic Vinegar; Vermont Butter and Cheese Fresh Goat Cheese;
and Elmore Mountain Bread Pizza Dough!

so last night we had a beautiful salad with leftover greens from last week, the salad turnips, grated carrots and beets (beets from a week or 2 ago). then i was strapped for time from staying so late at work so we had pasta with tomatoes i dehydrated last summer, pesto from last summer and chopped olives. yum.

tonight was a salad of shredded napa (from last week) and sliced cucumber, carrots and radishes with a miso vinaigrette (we got miso twice this winter) and frozen dumplings (ha).

i'm very excited because i seem to have finally found a whole-wheat bread recipe that i think i can work on and improve. it's from bob's red mill's baking book. stay tuned for more on that.
