our second CSA distribution certainly did not disappoint. fresh mint which meant mojiots sunday night. i didn't even know i liked them. more radish and kohlrabi. garlic greens, a gorgeous head of red bibb, a bag of spinach and more kale. kale has become a new favorite or ours. pete has perfected his preparation which involved lightly sauteing garlic and onion first and then adding the kale for just a couple of minutes. we ate in two nights in a row and would have went for a third had we had more. 2 pints of fresh picked berried which meant strawberry and blueberries shortcake tonight for desert. the shortcake were actually scratch made biscuits left over from breakfast this morning. another recipe pete is getting close to perfecting. we picked up two pieces of pork from springhill farms, a tender little pork tenderloin that we marinated saturday night in a savory sweet vadalia onion marinade and sunday we had some chops that we prepared and served with a light thai peanut dipping sauce. both meals completely satisfied! and finally tonight we slow roasted some chicken on the grill and served up our inaugural bowl of holly's infamous macaroni salad. i just can't seem to find horseradish with any sort of kick down here so i found it to be a bit bland but pete and kids were pleased as punch!

Sarah, you need to get yourself some horseradish roots, plant them and, as they say,"grow your own".
It isn't hard to do and spring harvest is easy. Dig up a root, peel the skin and then shread the root and cover with vinegar. Store in sealed jar. Refrigerate after opening. That's all folks! So easy.
So get out there and find some roots.
I'm ON IT!
Ohhhhhh-berries...ours are just flowers right now, though I did spy a couple green blueberries. Have Pete post that biscuit recipe-I need a good one. And one more week until our CSA starts I can NOT wait and you are making me very anxious.
