It's cold and rainy in southern California, just in time for St. Patrick's Day. My husband and I both have partial Irish backgrounds, and we always enjoy making a traditional St. Patrick's Day dinner. Fortunately for us, we have a lovely head of cabbage from last week's box, and a nice bunch of carrots from this week. Add in a few colorful potatoes from a booth nearby the place where we pick up our box at the farmer's market, and I think our meal is well on its way. After last week's focus on salads, I'm thinking that it might be nice to make primarily hot meals this week. Warm meals are good when it's cold outside, and we've got quite a few oven friendly vegetables this week.
In the box this week
(top) lettuce, arugula, spinach
(bottom) celery, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, carrots, oranges, strawberries, apples
Meals/recipes for the week
Several recipes this week are from Martha Rose Shulman's
Recipes for Health series in the New York Times. She has so many lovely and often simple recipes for so many vegetable varieties; it's definitely a great resource for CSA members everywhere!
This week's title is inspired by the song of the same name by Chauncey Olcott and George Graff, Jr.
