Heavenly Rain!!


Our girls were excited to see the rain. Beth was "Singin' In The Rain".












We are so very thankful for the rain that we are receiving this week. We were in deperate need of it. Our lawns and pasture were turning brown and the gardens were really slow to get going. We now have a bountiful harvest each week for our CSA boxes and for the market on saturdays. Last night was week four of our box delivery.








This weeks boxes contained new potatoes, beets with greens, mizuna, tatsoi, white globe turnips, garlic scapes, snow peas, pod peas, lettuce mix, radish, green onions and carrots.

On the left there is a picture of mizuna being suateed in olive oil with a tsp of maple syrup and a tsp of apple cider vinegar. It should be cooked for about six minutes.

We're really enjoying our CSA boxes! Here's a great recipe I found the other day:

Kale, Corn and Beet Salad

4 cups kale leaves, finely sliced
2 medium beets, cooked
1 cup corn kernels, cooked
1 tsp tarragon leaves
1/4 tsp salt
pinch pepper
1/4 cup olive oil and balsamic vinegrette

- Steam kale, with pot partially uncovered, for 3-5 minutes. Peel, quarter and slice beets and place in medium bowl. Add corn, tarragon, salt, pepper and dressing. Toss with kale leaves.

It's even better when served over brown rice. Hope you like it!
