Picking up our first weekly share today. It ante’s up the challenge of planning a menu for the week when you’re not sure what you’re getting and how much of it. Fortunately, the new CSA seems like they’re going to be good about e-mailing weekly guesstimates.

The weather acts as a foil as well. I can pencil in “Grilled Chicken Breasts”, but they might end up being stuffed and baked instead (and vice-versa).

  • Hobo Potatoes w/ Fennel Fronds & Arugula
  • Spinach or Bok Choy (in the grill basket)

Notes:

It’s already Monday morning as I’m writing this up so including some updates here. Yes, I made a Banana Cream Pie. It would have been better served in a bowl. The filling just didn’t set all the way, but not sure if I needed a bit more cornstarch or just more time in the fridge.

The steaks were amazing. It was actually the first time for us having actual steaks from the CSA share. We were warned that they would be very unlike traditional, corn-fed and thoroughly marbled beef. This was true. There was some additional chewing effort involved and the taste was more… earthy? Delicious.

Things don’t always go as planned, however. Shephard’s Pie ended up on Tuesday, and Wednesday dinner consisted of Fenway Franks and $7 beers. Yep, that’s right–we managed to score tickets to Game 1 of the Red Sox vs Angels playoff series. Thanks Doug & April!
