Stupid CSA

So, our CSA collapsed. We are sad. I had such high hopes of canning veggies, eating unique and exciting new foods, having to deal with too many veggies, etc.

Instead, we basically paid $200 for some rhubarb. BOOOOOO!!!

So, now out of a great veggie source, I'll have to rely on the farmers' market.

Not that I've been cooking much lately. But I have big plans on making some low fat muffins to keep around for breakfast with the HUGE zucchini I was given yesterday.

First CSA Box-Rhubarb

We received our first CSA box from Double Rabbit Farm. The farm has had a tough spring and our first quarter share was a bit small, mostly greens. But there was enough rhubarb for this:
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.

Snapper Nuggets

Tonight, CJ helped out and we made Red Snapper Nuggets with polenta and asparagus (and a beer).

The snapper was dipped in veggie egg beaters then a mixture of cornmeal, paprika, salt and pepper and pan fried. The asparagus was steamed. The polenta was one of those weird tubes, with water, garlic, fresh rosemary and a pat of butter added.
Obviously, I've chosen to take a new approach with my blog. There are lots of reasons why, but one of them is that I love to cook. I'm hoping I will do a better job of keeping this up because it is about something I love.

I'd like to point out, I like to cook, not bake. I don't really know how to bake. I try and make boxed brownies sometimes, but I never know when they are done. I do know some great bakeries.

Well, that said, I know lots of great food places, both restaurants and food suppliers. This may also be a journey through them also, definitely through the CSA we just signed up for: Double Rabbit Farm.
