Farewell, CSA

What's happening?

We picked up our last CSA box today - the season has officially come to a close.  Quarter 1 at school ends on Friday, and we'll be celebrating Brian's 30th birthday the weekend after that.  Lots to look forward to at the moment - we're going to New Orleans for Brian's birthday, then Jersey for Thanksgiving, then California for Christmas.  So, probably a good thing there won't be vegetables waiting for us at home anymore :)

Last night was Todd's Halloween Beer Club.  We went as Todd, of the Juice Hat variety.  Here's a look at how that went...

What to make?

*Egg Bake



Ingredients: 
- 4 Eggs
- Bok Choy
- Onion
- Peppers
- Salt and Pepper
- Cayenne Pepper
- Served with Lemon Rosemary Bread, toasted

Directions: This was so good!  We sauteed the greens, onion, and pepper.  Then, put in a baking dish.  Cover with 4 eggs.  Bake at 350 until the eggs come out at your desired temperature.  Would make a great dish for a brunch party - easy and delicious.

*Salsa Verde a la Brian

This couldn't be easier to make, and it's awesome! Just cut green tomatoes in half and broil them until they start to char, then blend them with peppers and seasoning. The CSA has been great for spicy peppers, which were put to good use. We based it loosely on the recipe below:

 *Mahi Mahi Tacos with Rice and Beans

So, we thought we did everything right for these tacos - but honestly they just didn't come out right.  We seasoned the fish with lime, tequila, and a fancy chile lime seasoning, then baked it.  We served them on corn tortillas, garnished with cilantro, radishes, green onion, and the salsa verde above.  Served with rice and black beans.  And Corona.  Despite the effort, we were both underwhelmed with the results.  We'll have try this again sometime.  The salsa was good though!
