Music and Cats

Last night, I got home from work after 10:30 pm, and was too tired to photograph our CSA share, so here it is tonight. This week’s box from Local Roots Farm contained:

• Bunch of beets with greens
• Bag of mixed autumn salad greens
• Tomato
• Bunch of rainbow chard
• Broccoli
• Bunch of parsley
• Red potatoes
• Cucumber

I was unexpectedly out of town last Tuesday, so I wasn’t able to take a photo of the produce. However, here’s what we got:

• Small head of lettuce
• Yellow onion
• Cherry tomatoes
• Braising greens
• Broccoli
• Zucchini
• Yellow Finn potatoes
• Cucumber
• Bunch of basil
• Head of dill

Today’s CSA box was heavy!

This week, our friends from Local Roots Farm filled up our box with:

• Bag of salad mix
• Tricolor beans (purple, green and yellow are a beautiful combination)
• Two kinds of squash (one zucchini-ish, one long yellow crookneck)
• Bunch of radishes with greens
• Bunch of beets with greens
• Broccoli
• The largest shallot I’ve ever seen (not pictured)
• Two ancho (a.k.a. poblano) chile peppers
• A cucumber
• All-blue potatoes

We had two no-shows this week; multiply all of the above by three to picture what I just carefully — barely! — fit into our refrigerator! Yikes! Coworkers and/or neighbors will be receiving veggies…

How can it be that I’ve not posted a photo of the McKittens in over a month? Sheesh… this blog was never much about music, but our cats have always been part of it. Sasha, Sergei and Lyra all show up in today’s tale (though Lyra has only a cameo in the first scene). Who is the star of our story: Sasha, or Sergei’s tail?

You can catch up with other animals at the usual places: the Modulator’s Friday Ark, and Weekend Cat Blogging, at The Sour Dough this weekend.

I know, I know, another photo mosaic. Well, they’re fun to make, and the 50mm lens on my camera right now is not so good at, as it were, the big picture. One of these days, I’ll put my old lens back on the camera, but right now I’m enjoying getting to know this one.

So, what was in today’s box from Local Roots Farm?

• Couple o’ cucumbers
• Couple o’ tomatoes
• Head o’ frisee
• Broccoli
• Red spring onions
• Bunch o’ baby carrots
• Yellow Finn potatoes
• Purslane

While shearing the carrot tops, I discovered these four friendly little carrots — also not available at your grocery store!
