Our first CSA box showed up yesterday. We ordered the Ugly But Yummy box, which is supposed to have fruits and veg that aren't grocery-store-perfect but are fine to eat, and the only things that didn't look absolutely pristine were the pears, which are a bit banged up.
We didn't get the tomatoes; apparently they ran out and instead substituted kiwi fruit. Now we have to think of something to do with kiwi, since neither of us is much for eating it plain. I found a kiwi salsa recipe that looked promising, except that we discovered that for once we don't actually have any jalapenos in the freezer.
We ate the carrots following a recipe in Deborah Madison'sHow to Cook Everything Vegetarian Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, which has been my go-to vegetable cooking book for years now. The carrots were so sweet, way more so than you usually get with grocery-store carrots.
