Farm, Week #2

Bill — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:22:24 +0000

This week’s produce I picked up yesterday:

2 heads of lettuce
4 stalks of broccoli
1 bunch of kale
1 kohlrabi
1 bunch of green onions with hugeheads
1 stalk(?) of bok choi
1/2 pound of snap peas
1 bunch of radishes

I had to give 1 head of lettuce away – there was no chance I would use it before it went bad.

Smoked Brisket

I was at a 2-year-old’s birthday party yesterday. The kids had one of those air-filled bouncy thingamajigs, but the adults got smoked brisket and sausage. Take a look at the smoke ring on this delectable piece. Oh, that was only one of about 8 he had going.

This Week’s Farm Haul

We participate in a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm and today was the first produce of the year. Fresh Earth Farms is only about 5 miles away from our house, and we get roughly 18 weeks of the freshest, yummiest, some-stuff-I’d-never-heard-of-yet-alone-thought-of-buying-est produce I’ve ever had.

This week I brought home:

2 heads of lettuce
2 heads of broccoli
2 kohlrabi
1 bunch of green onions with huge bulbs
1 bunch of green garlic

The broccoli and kohlrabi are destined to be roasted in the oven; the garlic and onions will go into stir frys, and it looks like I’ll have a salad or 10 too.

Reinvention

The Binary By Accident blog has died after 7-1/2 years. That’s a bit misleading – it was only being actively posted to for about 1/3 of that time. So, this site has been reinvented as a personal portal. My intent is for this to be the home base for my presence across the Web, be it Delicious, Twitter, Flickr, or whatever else comes down the line in the future.

Falling victim to all this is the whole slew of posts from the old blog. If I can ever figure out the URL-rewriting rules, I’ll repost everything as static files, but until then, I’m uncool.
