CSA Week One

I seem to be taking a detour into food blogging...I just got my produce! I think I'm going to like this CSA thing.

I just picked up:

one head of red leaf lettuce,
one head of green leaf lettuce,
one head of romaine,
and one pint of strawberries. (pictures to follow)

That was what I picked for my half share. Those with a full share got 2 pints of strawberries and six of the selection of greens, which also included spinach, rainbow chard, chard, collards, and a couple others. Since I'm not sure what I would do with the chard or collards, I stuck with the salad lettuces for this week. I'll get more adventurous as this goes on.

The strawberries are divine. I have never had such juicy, red berries.

And the lettuce is oh so fresh and crisp. For lunch I just had some lettuce wrap sandwiches. In a couple of the huge romaine lettuce leaves, I wrapped up turkey, cheddar, and hummus with slices of red bell pepper and red onion. Tasty and healthy. (Of course, I followed that with half a Midnight Dark Milky Way bar.)

It looks like I'll be having a lot of salads this week and looking forward to the next installment.

Also, as we go along, maybe you, my dear readers and visitors, can share any suggestions or recipes.
