Week 2 Summary

Here is where things stand as we approach the end of Week 2:


Green Leaf Lettuce: partly used as the "wrap" of the Thai lettuce wraps. But we still have some left. Planning to make a side salad tonight with dinner.

Collards: gone! We used the whole pound to make this Indonesian-style curry recipe (halved), with some basmati rice. It was good (and our first time making curry from scratch, which we were super proud of), but at the end of the day I think that collards are just not my favorite green. Their tough and bitter qualities are hard to overcome.

Rhubarb: half was used in the roasted rhubarb jam last weekend. I hope to use the rest to make a rhubarb galette this weekend, but I spied it the other day in the fridge and it was not looking great. In any case, Steve snagged another bundle of this from the week 3 swap box yesterday, so all is not lost.

Dinosaur Kale: one-third to one-half of it has been used, all in green smoothies so far.

Chives: we have not even touched these yet! What should we do with them - any suggestions?

2 Chicken Breasts (it was actually closer to 3): gone! All used in the Thai lettuce wraps.

Bag of Chicken Wings: planning to make Old Bay wings tonight for dinner!

I'll be back tomorrow to share what we got yesterday in our Week 3 box. It was quite a bounty!
