Week 5 - Nature's Bounty

I think we're going to need a bigger boat. 

Let's go over what we got this week.  Again, I had to do a little research to determine just what it is that I'm looking at, but I think I got it narrowed down:  Red Deer Tongue Lettuce, Red Leaf Lettuce, Curly Endive, Collards, Curly Kale, Radishes, Parsley, and Shell Peas.  Oh, and the ubiquitous tomatoes. 

Can't complain.  They really are good, though I never get around to making salsa's.  Capresse salad, though, is always good and easy. 

I'm thinking a lot of salads are in the offing.  I usually don't care for salad because I hate Iceberg Lettuce and Romaine doesn't do much for me.  The Deer Tongue was really good, a little nutty.  I also realized as I was washing it that it's a little fuzzy... kinda like velcro.  Not in a bad way, but the leaves really liked to stick together.  It's funny how little things like that have been conditioned out of our sense of normal. 

I also haven't been very good about cooking this past week, so I still have a little catch up to do.  I'm amazed that everything has kept so well in the fridge, but I know it's getting long in the tooth.  Let's see what we can come up with...
