Trip to Brown County

This weekend I had an entire day off work! I talked my dearest mother into visiting, and she came down Friday night. We didn't tell Marcella until Mom was in town, so she was really surprised! We went to the Farmer's Market, Dillman's Farm, Brown County State Park, Little Nashville, and Musgrave Orchard. Here's some pictures from the hike we took at the park:






That is my handknit sweater that Marcella is wearing:

CSA 10/11

This week I got arugula, two bell peppers, and chile peppers:


A butternut squash, a delicata squash, two onions:


Parsley and sweet potatoes:


Green beans and eggs:

This week I'm going to keep saving some of the squash and sweet potatoes for future weeks. My CSA is almost over and I'd like to have some nice produce when it ends. The squash, onions, and sweet potatoes should last several weeks. This week I'm planning to make:

  • Breakfast casserole with a pepper and arugula
  • A veggie stir fry like this and this and this- will use a pepper, onion, green beans

Two onions, two bags of Rumano/Jade beans, and a ton of long green chile peppers:


An acorn squash, a delicta squash, and a bag of Yukon gold potatoes:


I also bought a Red Kobocha Squash! I loved the red-orange color of it. The farmer told me it has a nutty flavor similar to a butternut squash. 


This week I plan to make:
  • Thai Red Curry with Kobocha Squash- will use the Kobocha squash and an onion
  • Parsleyed Beans- will use the beans and parsley
  • Chili Verde, like this or this or this or this- will use the peppers, and an onion
  • Mashed potatoes mmmmmmmmmm! (Yukon Gold are my favoritest potatoes)
  • Marcella is going to juice the greens
  • I'm planning to save some of the squash for future weeks since it saves so well and my CSA is almost over
