This week in the CSA newsletter, I learned that our farmer’s grandson just had his first birthday, where the onion capital of the world is, and that this year, conditions are exactly right for growing lettuce, so we should brace ourselves for a summer of salads (and Ana’s lettuce soup).

This week was also the first zucchini sighting.  Last year, we were drowning in zucchini, so when I saw that big green summer squash in my bag on Saturday, I couldn’t help but think, you won’t win this year, Mr. Zuc.  Tomorrow, I’m going to make gluten-free muffins out of him.

Here’s what was in this week’s bag:

• Boston Lettuce - I’m going to use this to make lettuce wraps, maybe with turkey, maybe with TVP.  Not sure yet.
• Romaine Lettuce - Used this to make a salad for a birthday party we attended on Saturday.
• Some kind of green curly lettuce that tasted like iceberg, but wasn’t listed on the newsletter - some went in the birthday party salad, some made a diner style Greek side salad for dinner last night.
• Green Swiss Chard - Chipotle Cheddar Chard Quesadillas.
• Sugar Snap Peas -Snacking
• Snow Peas - Coconut Lime Chicken and Snow Peas
• Green Onions - Salads, omelets, salad dressings, etc.

What’s in your CSA bag, garden harvest, or farmers’ market haul this week?
