Fresh food rocks!

As my regular readers know by now, I love fresh fruit and vegetables. We have a bounty of it right now, thanks to our two local CSAs. On Friday, we picked up eggplants, bok choy, lettuce mix, sweet peppers, poblano peppers, cheese, and eggs. They added a new supplier who has an organic greenhouse, hence the slightly out of season (but oh so welcome) peppers and eggplant. On Saturday we picked up our basket, which had:

• 2 bags (1 pound each) rice
• honey
• spring mix lettuce (lots and lots of salad this week)
• 1 lb of cheese
• 1/2 gallon 2% milk
• a whole pastured chicken
• apples
• sweet potatoes
• an Amish-baked fruit cake

Sunday night we had one of my favorite dishes: Greek-style stuffed eggplant. Ahh...The recipe comes from the old, original Moosewood Cookbook, and cannot be beat. It is just so good. We will be using the chicken on Thanksgiving, along with the sweet potatoes. The bok choy and poblanos are going into a wonderful sauce for fish. We are eating so well!
