CSA Summer 2014 - Week 4

Week four took me by surprise.  Well, the potatoes did anyway.  I guess I assumed potatoes were October-ish veggies.  Shows how much I know.  Anyway, Brad did the pick-up again this week.  The boys were a little disappointed when I told them we wouldn't be going to the farm today, but they got over it quickly when I told them the pool was out and ready.  So here's the take this week:  8 oz. onions, 1 oz. bunch of cilantro, 7 oz. kale, 8 oz. golden beets, 9 oz. mixed greens, 1 lb. red potatoes, 1 oz. purple basil.  I really wish you could smell the basil!  The newsletter suggested that the greens would work well for either a salad or for sauteing, but I smelled arugula the minute I opened the bag, so we're definitely going to cook that stuff up.  I've not quite worked up the ability to eat really strongly flavored greens raw yet.
