CSA Box & Projects

[hrj]

Got the new roses in the ground today and printed off the handouts to go with the Dublin-Viking caps class. (I decided to mess around with In Design's templates, so I did it up as a three-fold brochure. It's a bit silly, but it's the only way I ever explore new program features.) Also stopped by the thrift store to pick up a couple of plain white sheets to make into classical scenery backdrops for the gods & goddesses encampment at A&S.

This week's veggie box has the regular potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and lettuce -- I don't normally eat this many carrots, so I need to start being a bit more inventive -- plus strawberries (YAYYYYY!!!!!), basil, and walnuts. The last two items cried out to become walnut pesto, so I picked up a head of garlic on my way home. The lettuce is going into lunches for the next two days. Hmm, if I turn the carrots and cabbage into slaw for next week's lunches, then I've thrown the dinner menus wide open (as long as they include potatoes).

My two current strategies for "build a meal around carrots" are carrot (and potato?) pancakes, and carrot khoresh with garlic yogurt.

Just curious about what you think of In Design. I haven't looked at it (can't afford to buy it right now) ... it's the successor to PageMaker, which frankly was a PITA to use ... so just kind of curious.

Carrots in mustard sauce!

Carrots and walnuts? I'd say, make carrot cake!
