Winter CSA Week 10


This week's bag:

  • 1 package Berkshire pork chops (putting them in the freezer for now)
  • 2 pint frozen green beans (will make when we have a quick dinner within the next two weeks)
  • 1 half-pint sorghum syrup (absolutely no clue)
  • 1.5 lbs rolled oats (I was out, so this is perfect timing!)
  • 3 lbs turnips (OMG we are in turnip overload and I don't know how to use them)
  • 1 quart Velvet View yogurt (perfect for baking!)
  • 1 half pint fire-roasted cherry tomatoes (probably will make a pasta dish next week)
  • 1 quart frozen strawberries (we actually didn't get these because they miscounted)
  • 1 dozen eggs 
  • 1 lb Ohio City pasta (I think we have pumpkin)
  • 1 quart frozen cauliflower
  • 1 lb carrots
I used the carrots for dinner on Saturday night, along with our Yukon potatoes and the frozen peas.  The peas tasted REALLY weird, so I don't know what happened.  My friend Melissa suggested maybe they were picked late, because they were HUGE.  Hers tasted fine, ours were crunchy and had a funky taste.  I am hoping the other frozen veggies are okay.  We will find out this week when I make them!  Excited to have the pumpkin pasta again because it is SO good with a cream sauce with bacon and shallots.  The chops will go into the freezer because it was the last meal I ate before the stomach flu and NOT sure when I will be able to eat them again!

Overall, a GREAT bag (minus the turnips).  As each week passes, I get more and more excited about the summer!
