Summer Share Week 4 - On the Road

One of the challenges with a CSA is having the time to use up all the produce you get. This week, it was a quick stop to pick up the week's take and then off to Newport to visit friends. Luckily, it was the perfect selection for travel - fresh strawberries and cherries, garlic scapes, arugula microgreens, tomatoes and juice.

The berries barely made it past the first day - heck, they barely made the trip up. Luckily, they were in the back seat, safe from my wanting little fingers. There is nothing like fresh strawberries!! We had the tomatoes with mozzarella and basil, with a little olive oil drizzled on top as part of a light lunch. The garlic scapes went in the potato salad along with a little of the arugula. They were also grilled all by themselves - yummy. The juice - a lovely mixture of apple and lemon was mixed with sparkling water for a perfect summer drink.

My project tomorrow will be to finally make the chocolate rhubarb cake for a 4th of July party - fingers crossed!
