I was kind of amazed to hear the words coming out of my mouth. A year ago, I wouldn't have known half that. Some other things I've learned from my CSA:
- I love chard. Collard greens not so much.
- When it's squash season, you eat squash. And you eat it all because next week there will definitely be more.
- Most greens don't need to be boiled for a million hours and I like them better when they're not.
- The fresher the vegetables, the less you need to do to make them taste great. Except for collards which still usually need bacon.
- When you eat fresh raw vegetables for lunch and dinner, it's hard not to lose weight.
- In hot climates like mine, by the time the tomatoes come in, most of the lettuce is done, so the salads my mother made in my childhood are hard to make locally.
- Husbands must be accounted for when planning vegetable sides. Even if they do like their green beans mushy.
