CSA: Week #5 Pickup
I’m still running a little behind this week. On Tuesday night, I picked up my week #5 CSA basket. This basket included new potatoes, Swiss chard, romaine lettuce, broccoli, and Trike Bake lemon buttermilk loaf.
As soon as I got home, I had to try the lemon buttermilk loaf. As I removed the plastic wrap, I could tell it was incredibly moist. I cut off a thin edge and tasted it. Lemonade! It tasted like lemonade. Delicious!
I’m planning to use the romaine in a big salad on Friday night along with cucumbers, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. If I’m lucky, we’ll eat it on the screened-in porch. I’m also planning to get street tacos from La Esperanza to eat as the main course.
The Swiss chard will likely make its way into a pasta dish this weekend. The broccoli and potatoes will probably be side dishes in some form. It should be a great week!
Beautiful basket of food.
Don’t forget you can grill the romaine, then toss with red onion slices & chopped bacon , sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese(or use your imagination) finish it with a drizzle of creamy Caesar dressing. You won’t believe how good.
I like mine sorta charred before I take it off the grill.
