csa delivery!

this week's small mixed box

gala apples

navel oranges

strawberries

zucchinis (of course!)

fava beans

broccoli

red leaf lettuce

potatoes

(farmers market basket recently acquired from anthropologie)

cilantro

my carryovers from last week

i carried over most of my cilantro from last week, so now i have two bunches of cilantro

3 zucchinis + 3 more = 6 zucchinis

cauliflower

lettuce

 2 butternut squash (acquired almost two weeks ago from the farmers market)

why so much carryover?

i'm fine when i alternate the small box with the regular size box, but then i like the regular box options better that week so i end up 2 or 3 weeks of regular and this leads to carryover and my current predicament.. also, my favorite box  is the valley and they don't offer this in the small size, i've requested to add the small valley to their offering, so hopefully i will see this in the next few weeks. 

today's lunch was some kind of wonderful

i'm trying to kill my leftovers basically,

i killed the rest of my butternut squash ravioli that i froze last week, sauteed a zucchini and smothered it in my lamb ragu.... the sweetness of the butternut squash that finds its way to peak through the heavy red wine and tomatoes sauce...

i was expecting to eat a mediocre lunch of leftovers, but it was a "week in review" lunch
