So my week-long hiatus from the kitchen is over and I am back to business. My time off caused me to have to toss a few share items - the baby bok choi and basil :( Let's take a moment of silence to acknowledge the loss.
Thank you.
I've got big plans for this week! Today I had a total "grown up" moment shopping (at long last) for a food processor. I browsed K-Mart and Homegoods and narrowed down which brand I wanted to buy and it all went out the window when I hit the Christmas Tree Shop and found a Ninja food processor for only $50 (according to their website it's a whopping $169!) AND I had a $25 gift card! Happy consumer dance!!! I've already used it, but that's a post for another day. For now let's see what came in the week 7 share!
This week my share includes:
- Basil
- Bok Choi
- Cucumbers
- Leeks
- Parsley
- Salad Mix
- Scallions
It's one of the greenest shares I've gotten this season and I have to say I'm not entirely sure what I am going to do with all of it. Bok choi seems like a tough vegetable to cook with other than stir fry so it looks like I'll be making that pretty soon. There's also a LOT of basil so hopefully I can incorporate that into some dishes this week to keep it from going bad again. I have a great recipe for lime basil cookies so that might be the answer to some of the problem!
Veggie Person of the Week
Given all of the greens this week, I was limited on my choices for a veggie person, but I made the best of it and created one of my all-time favorites - Bernie Bok Choi! Don't you just love his glasses?
