Salad (Greens) Days

On Monday, our neighbor Tiny stopped by as I was in the garden cutting chard. I said-- come by for dinner, we have all this food. I was all proud of my big pile of leafy greens:







...and then I put it in the saute pan and it basically disappeared. Oops:



At least we had other food...ha. I was still a little embarrassed to put about a serving and a half of chard on the table...but I grew it darn it.

And then Tuesday was our first CSA delivery:



A different kind of embarrassment...the kind that basically doesn't fit into the fridge. I wish that they'd been over for dinner that night.

For those who can't pick that all out, its: red leaf lettuce, pak choy, spinach, romaine, pea tendrils, and chickory.

So Tuesday I made a Crazy Pizza (it involves apples and lots of spinach) and tonight we had Chicken Caesar Salads. I want to do a stir-fry with some of the pak choy and pea tendrils tomorrow...maybe.

I don't know how we're going to eat all of this in a week. I mean there are 4 of us, but that's a lot of leaves. I'm looking forward to the days when there's a little more variety in what comes off the truck.
