Lots of delicious vegetables again and some sweet strawberries!! Pretty exciting to taste the strawberries as we’ll be picking a lot for ourselves this weekend at the Strawberry Picking Day!!!

We ate a lot of today’s and last week’s veggies on a huge salad and then ate more on top of a pizza. Salad is an obvious way to include some of the “unknown” items into our diet.  Below is a picture of the salad.

Our 6th CSA from Harmony Valley Farms (blog) included:

• Spinach,
• French Breakfast Radish,
• Purple Scallions,
• Garlic Scapes,
• Yukina Savoy,
• Asparagus,

• Saute Mix, and
• fresh Basil

What in the world are we supposed to do with all of these? Part of the problem is that I’ve never heard of some of these things and they don’t come labeled. What is Yukina Savoy? I mean wikipedia doesn’t even know what it is.  Luckily, some people do.
