In other news, the CSA was today.

In addition to our egg share (dozen eggs) and our fruit share (quart of cherries, 12 oz of apple juice) we got the following:

Two lg lettuces
10 small onions with greens
22 oz. chard (I only took a pound - how much chard can a girl eat? The leftover is all donated to a food bank)
10 squash
10 cucumbers
10 oz baby greens
2 napa cabbages

Holy crap that's a lot of greenery. I do believe the phrase "om nom nom" is appropriate now?

So, what exactly is CSA?
Also, I find it kind of hilarious that you'd get 10 cucumbers and only 12 ounces of juice. What does one do with 12 ounces of juice, anyway? Or rather, what does one do with it other than down it in the same number of seconds.

The fruit and veggie shares are separate. We actually have double a regular vegetable share.

That's really cool! I should look into if they have a similar system in the Twin Cities.

Bet they do - CSAs started in Japan, and last I heard they were all over the US.
