ate my fruits and veggies, week 1.

Today I picked up my first CSA box. For those who dont know, CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture", and by paying the farm a flat fee, you get a weekly box full of the freshest seasonal organic produce you can buy. Its amazing tasting vegetables that were actually picked when ripe within days of you eating them. The flavors are so much more complex than what you normally get when you buy produce from the grocery store. I also love the challenge of cooking with unique veggies you sometimes cant even find at the store, or ones I would never think to buy on a normal basis.

This weeks box included: spring mix, spinach, mizuna, purple carrots, leeks, apples, and strawberries.

I have 11 more weeks (at least) of this!
