I forgot the following...

Yellow Corn Harina
Nuts (Various) for Holiday Mixed Nuts

I have recently ordered online, Blue Corn Harina.
 
I'm having a hard time getting into the festive mood for food, which is really unusual for me. I think it's work-related, as work has been especially murderous to all that is Good and Sweet lately.

Anyway, got my monthly produce box from the farm around the corner:


Squash & Carrots

Sad (not really) to report, that arugula went straight in the garbage, as I tried to pawn it off on three neighbors, and they all said no, not on your life.

I was also entitled to another squash, but I still have the squash from last month's box to deal with, so when he said, "Pick two or three," I stuck with two.

I've never cooked with chard before - I'm open to ideas... :whistling:

I also made a grocery run yesterday. I'll try and get that up.

There is no way you will like it. Its virtually the same as spinach. Although, what you seem to have there is rainbow chard so the stems provide an interest.

Maybe these veg boxes are not the best option for you?

Thanks. Regarding those stems - I already pitched those because the little bit I've read about chard always starts with, "Remove the green leaves from the stems and discard stems..." :laugh:

I do agree that we're not doing this next year, but I'm not sorry we did it this year. I just wish he'd let me trade arugula for potatoes or turnips or something.

But then, everybody probably says that. :)
 
I went to the store for a couple things, and as I always do, I went through the meat department to see what they had. I found some really nice USDA Choice NY Strips, so I bought them, and they had ultra-thin sliced ribeye, perfect for Philly Cheesesteaks, so I bought that, too. Of ourse, had to buy some rolls for the cheesesteaks. Not proper Amaroso's rolls from South Jersey, but you gotta' buy what you can buy.

So, one way or another, I guess... Beef, it's what's for dinner. Mercans will get that. For the rest of you...

Well...left to my own devices, I probably wouldn't eat so much of it, but I do like it, mainly romaine and iceberg for salads, and leaf lettuce for sandwiches.

I have to admit, I don't care for the baby lettuce leaves much at all. No snap or crunch. That's what I like. However, we got all this yesterday afternoon and already, a third of the bag if the baby leaves are gone, and they'll make an appearance later in the "What'd You Cram In Your Lettuce-Hole" topic. :)

Other than the Kale, I'd eat all of that stuff you got.

Squash is butternut pumpkin here, and my fave. Arugular is swede here I boil and mash with butter and lots pepper, it's yummy. Chard is similar to silver beet we have here, I steam it or cook in butter. Great haul btw. We are eating lettuces spring onions and radishes from our garden.

Arugula is a leafy green with a peppery taste, aka garden rocket.
We grow wild rocket here. I love it. It makes for an excellent pesto (the peppery taste decreases significantly in a few days after the pesto is made). I grow it by the wheelbarrow load in my veg plot letting the plants flower and self seed. It has fed a number of nectar feeding birds through the whole of winter . We're just waiting for the next crop of leaves to get older to develop their peppery taste in time for Christmas.

Arugula, aka rocket in red.
