Humongous Farm Box

Our CSA farm box arrived yesterday. It was actually not 1 but 2 boxes of goodness. Here are the veggies: ginormous romaine lettuce, mixed fancy lettuce greens, baby turnips, celery, rainbow chard, ginger root, broccolini, potatoes, tomatoes, green onions, avocados, and mushrooms.
And the fruit: mango, huge kiwis, oranges, plums, donut peaches, and apricots.
Wednesday's fast dinner was a market/farm box/garden collaboration. The main dish came from a local vendor at the Kirkland's farmer's market, chicken tikka masala, cardamon rice, and naan. The side veggie was the broccolini from the farm box, and the salad came from our garden. Fast food that was delicious and healthy!
Our veggie Thursday dinner: pesto penne (Ari made the pasta) with a Caesar salad, complete with homemade croutons (courtesy of Alex), heirloom tomatoes with crumbled goat cheese (mom), and for dessert; plum tart (Anni and mom, not pictured, warming in toaster oven).
I couldn't resist a close up of the beautiful tomato dish!
