Well, here we are at our second local meal. We had to rely on our CSA pick up again because we were not able to make it to a farmers market this week (3 weddings & 2 sick people - it' s been busy). So, at the CSA we received kohlrabi (see previous post), butter, ricotta cheese, pierogies, peas, strawberries, napa cabbage, rosemary bread and spring mix salad.
We were going to make a whole dinner party out of it, but discovered that we did not have enough of everything for 6 people. We will do that another time.
Anyway, we made roasted kohlrabi, peas, pierogies w/ sauerkraut and grilled (with olive oil) rosemary bread. It was a pretty white meal - I think we need a salad and one less white food next time. But it was all pretty good. We fried the pierogies and they were really good - I usually only like the cheese kind, but these were tasty. And Andrea, who hasn't been able to eat peas since being given a huge plate full (with ham) while in Spain, was able to eat a good bit and even finished them! Good job Andrea! I love peas (and never get them) and had them with a little vinegar (is that cheating?) The kohlrabi was pretty good. Very turnipy and the bread was also really good.
This local eating thing is pretty fun & 4 month old Michael Lee can't wait to start eating locally with us!
