I can't let them sleep *too* long, we need to run into the city and see their mom before she leaves for the weekend. It's bad timing, but her trip was planned well before the last-minute trip to California.
Anyway, more about what I wanted to talk about, the CSA has started!
Last week was the first week, we got garlic scapes and a napa cabbage and some radishes and some other stuff (and only half of what we should have had because my sister didn't realize we're a *full* subscription instead of a *half*!
This week starts eggs, and next week the fruit share kicks in, and I'm not sure how this is going to turn out.
So I thought I'd go post-tastic about my efforts to use up the pre-paid "WTF IS THIS?" bonanza
As soon as I go tomorrow to pick up my veggies (and get, I'm sure, a second napa cabbage) I'm going to try my hand at making kimchi.
Wish me luck?
Incidentally - anybody in the NYC area have spare glass jars they can lend? I have approximately none. Well, I have one big jar filled with rice, a smaller jar filled with bacon fat, and a smaller jar still filled with kosher salt (it's a lot easier to spoon out what I need than to pour it out). If you give me two empty glass jars, I'll give you one jar of kimchi once I'm done making it, though I can't guarantee it'll be any good.)
And would it be overkill to make kimchi and cole slaw in the same week? I have some purple cabbage as well to use up.
Hm. Maybe I should drop by some friends and pretend that I *planned* to give them food this week....
