that is such a great way to get your produce, and it is fun to think of things to cook on the fly with whatever you get. i belonged to a CSA program in brooklyn for awhile, and i really wish i could find something like that here in sydney, but i don't think it exists.

We are so alike! I get an organic box delivered too and it's like having a birthday every week! I love the challenge of mystery ingredients...

To answer your asparagus question - I've got a lovely poached salmon salad on my site which makes good use of fresh asparagus.

Wandering Chopsticks - I'm going to be watching for that recipe too!

This sounds fantastic! I'm jealous!

What a cool service! I am with the very proletariat Terra Firma Farm in Winters and I have to drive to the next town to pick it up... hmmm, in regards to sustainability, many cars driving to the pickup spot versus one truck driving to many spots to deliver... Also, nice that you can specify what you like and don't like. Jeez, maybe I should check these guys out.

If you get another shipment of asparagus, you can try my recipe for Vietnamese crab, asparagus egg drop soup. I just haven't gotten around to posting it up yet. Hence, the next shipment. :P

I try to cook in season with whatever I find at the farmers' market. Even when I go rather crazy and splurge on stuff, I rarely spend more than $10 max.

I am so sick of the sugar snap peas. They've been in every single one of my deliveries so far from Boston Organics. I have no idea what to do with them and I can't find them on the "do not send form" to get them off my list. It's amusing in a sad, annoyed way.

You get way cooler boxes though than I do! We get these big green reusable tubs. They look like the packing boxes we used to use to move our offices between floors.

I'm totally interested. Can I just buy one as a sort of evaluation?

Nice site!!

Nice site!!

2008-04-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

Oooo, I can't find the "recipe" but I roasted some asparagus with olive oil and rosemary branches a couple of years ago. The rosemary gets place in the bottom of a grill-proof pan and the oil covered spears on top of it. Place it all on a hot grill. You have to turn the spears every 1-2 minutes to get them brown but not burnt. It was literally pouring down rain the day I made it and no one was willing to hold the umbrella as I turned the spears, but it was well worth the effort. Amazing how much of the rosemary essense got passed on!

Well, I know I'm looking forward to the asparagus ...

Well, I know I'm looking forward to the asparagus coming up here so I can make that Asparagus salad you took such a great picture of. And carrots, the last couple of times I've had them I've gingered them...cook'em in a bit of water and either pieces of fresh ginger or ginger juice until soft and the water has evaporated, then add a touch of butter. Serious YUM!

2008-04-27T10:04:00.000-07:00

oh how i wish i still lived in the bay area and someone would send me farm fresh produce every week! :) Looks lovely!
I like asparagus grilled with olive oil and salt sprinkled on top.

I think this represents great value Allen. I'm very envious and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

We signed up for CSA (community supported agriculture) for the first time this year too. I guess we now have half a share in a farm in Wisconsin. We won't get our first box until May but I just found out they'll also be giving us herbs to plant in the garden, I'm so excited. We also only did every other week, I was worried it would be too much every week for two.

"I anxiously awaited my delivery today and practically pounced on the unsuspecting delivery guy."
Oh.. So that's the blood-curdling scream heard throughout California today... Kidding! (Peace, Allen! :)

You forgot to say that you never want oranges! Could think of a few nice things for peas, though :) I hope they can keep up the good variety. Nice find, Allen!
