CSA Week 5

Well here are our veggies from last week (sorry it is a week late). We got: cucumbers, onions, garlic, dino kale, cabbage, green beans, zucchini, squash, and basil! We made a sort of stir-fry with the basil, garlic, onions, zucchini and green beans. We paired this with some steak and rice. It was all very yummy!



We used the cabbage to make an Asian Slaw Salad and still need to use the squash and the rest of the basil. I plan to pickle my cucumbers but I feel like I might need some more to do that.

Tomorrow we get a new box. I am really hoping for some tomatoes!!

Altamaha River

This past weekend we went canoeing down the Altamaha River in South East Georgia with our friends Michelle & Kelly. We paddled a little more than 40 miles from Towns Bluff to Carters Bight Landings. We had a great time and a little too much sun! I am not going to lie and say the experience was easy (my arms are still sore!) but we saw a lot of beautiful places and swimming in the river was a lot of fun (and felt great in the hot sun!).








PS: I am sorry that the picture quality is not so good...I brought a disposible camera since the camera fiasco of 2008. Michelle and Kelly also have pictures from our trip so check out their blog as well!

CSA Week 4

This weeks harvest brought us: rainbow chard, flat leaf parsley, red and white beets, turnips, cucumber, cabbage, yellow squash, romaine lettuce, onions and garlic! This week we have been better about using all or veggies and we only got them yesterday!! So far we have made coleslaw with the cabbage and Eric made a very good casserole with the rainbow chard, onions, garlic, and parsley.

Kicking my bootay!!!!

This semester at Piedmont is kicking my bootay! I am taking two classes: Organizational Behavior (OB) and Management Information Systems (MIS).

For the first three classes in OB we were supposed to read nine chapters (NINE!!!) from our book. I have read 3 and the mid term is next week...CRAP.

In MIS, we have about 5 assignments every week to complete. I am SOOOO behind it isn't even funny. Some how I need to get on track and get ahead.... Gotta love working full-time and going to school full-time. I think I am crazy for doing this!!!

Beef....its whats for dinner!!!

Seriously....it is for dinner! One of my co-worker's husband is a cattle rancher and a cow of his was slaughtered (I know, I try not to think of the cows big brown eyes) a few weeks ago and now it is ready to eat!! We got about 30 lbs of meat for only $3 a pound....that is the best deal ever right?? We will be having steaks, burgers, and roasts for a long time!! We tried the hamburger meat the other night and it was very good!

CSA Weeks 2 & 3

For our 2nd week of vegetables we got many delicious things...broccoli, potatoes, leeks, mixed lettuce, a head of romaine, beets, random greens and turnips.


The third week brought us....broccoli, yellow squash, spring onions, flat leaf parsley, more beets, turnips, garlic, greens, and mixed leaf lettuce.
