Yesterday's CSA was aaaaaawesome! We got a bunch of turnips, radishes, two huge heads of lettuce, baby greens and asian greens... YUM. Dan and I made a huge salad with balsamic vinaigrette and radishes and sprouts. I cooked the radish greens and caramelized onions and we had that on top of polenta with fresh ground cornmeal that we got in the CSA share last week. Tonight I am sitting down with a plate of turnip greens, roasted turnips & sweet potatoes, rice, peas, and caramelized onions. And mustard. Caramelized onions and mustard = new favorite condiments. Bunny food is great.
Speaking of...radish greens are extremely tough. They have a good flavor--a little bite, but not quite as much as a mustard green. They take forever to chew though. It's like eating meat. What is the appropriate chewing time for a bite of steak? Like...how do you know when to swallow it? (TWSS...ugh) .. judgmental food snob; sorry. Turnips are so buttery.
Tomorrow I'm heading to SO.IL. to ride bikes with my parents and their friends. They do a ride from our house every year down to Cave in Rock, where they camp, and then ride back to Marion the next day. It's a 70-80 mile trip each way. The little trip couldn't fit better with my training plan--I'm back to base 1 to do some longer endurance rides and some more hills. I look forward to racing the old men up the Eddyville Hill and being reaaaaaallly well fed at the cookout after the ride. The best part is that my sister is going this year! She's riding a friend's bike--a nice but older carbon Trek--and is going to use clipless pedals and everything. I think it will be her longest ride ever :-) and the first time we'll be riding together in a long time. Yay !
