Week 2 of my CSA

I was too chicken to start posting with week one - afraid I'd get stuff I wouldn't know what it was or how to use. So let's just start with this week.

My share: lots of carrots (tops included), turnips with greens, chard, basil, mixed salad greens, beets, onions, and lots of citrus. Along with one very pretty bouquet of flowers. I also picked up a fresh loaf of roast garlic bread (there is a gentleman who sets up a table at the farm every Saturday selling homemade baked goods).

Leftover from last week: onion, eggs, turnip greens, salad greens, variety of herbs.

I picked up a bison roast from a local farmer's market this week, so yesterday morning before heading to the farm for my pickup (and breakfast at the farm), I put the roast in the crockpot on low with lots of red onion, some garlic, a little red wine, and 1/2 cup of water. When we got home from the farm and I was able to check out my share and decided to use last week's turnip greens combined with this weeks and some of my carrot tops to add some veggies to the roast, so I threw those in along with 3 chopped up carrots. This cooked all day while we ran errands, got haircuts, and weeded the yard. By dinner time, the house smelled awesome! I sliced some of the garlic bread and threw it under the broiler to toast it, served that along side all the goodies from the crockpot on a big platter, and set up the whole thing on the outside table (we've had some gorgeous evenings this week, so we've been making a habit of eating outside). Dinner was deemed a great success and I enjoyed the first red meat I've had in over 6 months!
