The First Day: Before the Pick-up

Well, I'm finally doing it. I've been talking about writing a food blog for quite some time, and today is the day it all begins.

I made a decision last night to join a CSA (community supported agriculture), so each week for the next 26 weeks (6 months), I will get a bag of fresh vegetables that were grown locally. Each week I will have no idea what will be in the bag; all I know is that I am guaranteed 5-10 different vegetables each week. My challenge is to be creative with these vegetables and to have consumed them all by the time I pick up my next bag; I suppose there may be some carry-over from week to week, but the goal is to use each piece of produce before it spoils. Sounds easy enough, right?

I'm as giddy as a grade-schooler on Christmas morning, so I think it's about time for me to go collect my first bag and start making plans for each and every piece of produce inside. Wish me luck, and I'll keep you updated on what I receive and how I plan to use it.

Happy food makes happy people; I hope you have a delicious day!
