See you tomorrow!

I want everyone to know I’ve got help for tomorrow’s harvest. Thank you!
And from now on the place to sign up for helping is the SIGN UP SHEET next to the SIGN OFF SHEET during weekly pickups. Some of you saw it last week. It has the days of the week & what we plan on doing, with blank spaces for you to sign up for morning or afternoon work. If you want a phone call reminder the night before your work day, put your number down next to your name. I think this will work better, and allow the blog more room for fun stuff, like Hannah and Kristen’s beautiful photos, and hopefully more recipes. We have some great cooks in our csa, besides more photographers, designers, and twins than any other csa, I’m sure.

What to do with favas?

Hannah, Christie and I all live together and share our CSA, and on Wednesdays we’ve gotten into the habit of cooking up our CSA haul and sitting down together for dinner. We were thrilled to pick up our pound of fava beans last week, because none of us have ever cooked with them before. We shelled the beans and decided to peel off their skins, and then sauteed them with herbs and zucchini from Red Planet. We got this beautiful white and green dinner, and loved every bite:

Fava and white beans

So now that we’re hooked on favas, we’re wondering: what next? Some of you out there must have delicious fava bean recipes, and we want to try them! If you’d like to post one, or share other recipes that have grown out of our CSA so far this season, you can log into the blog by going to wordpress.com. Our user-name is redplanetvegetables, and the password is csa2009. The “New Post” button is at the top of the page.
