Partitioning the First Share

As I noted last week, our first share was a lovely haul. CookMommie and I managed to make use of everything in the share with very few exceptions: the tops of the strawberries and some of the parsley. "What about the tops of the turnips, radishes and carrots?" you ask... they are consumed, and I'll explain how in a later post.

For now, a summary of what was put together almost entirely from this load:
4 large salads from the red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, radishes, carrots, mint, parsley & thyme
4 servings of fridge pickles from the beet and leftover radishes & carrots
4 servings of chipotle mashed turnips
3 servings of pea risotto
Also delicious strawberry-based breakfasts and chocolate-covered strawberries... with the mint, we made mojitos!

and, of course, baby's first encounter with peas and carrots.

More on that tomorrow...
