Week 2's basket!

Howdy ya'll!

Excited to bring you all another basket of goodness this afternoon... here's a pic, and much of it you're already familiar with (so I'll just add a FEW notes below):

Clockwise from bottom-left: Lettuce, tomatoes, swiss chard, ~2lb of rib steaks (if you did grass-fed beef option), 1/2 dozen eggs, basil, lamb's quarters, and French breakfast radishes

So again, with the lamb's quarters, just pluck the leaves and then either use them raw (sandwiches, salads) OR fry them gently (like spinach).

We are HOPING to add some blackberries to each share today; I'm waiting on my work right now, to tell me that they were able to get the school's internet back up and running with my emailed instructions (or not) -- to see if the kids and I will get to finish our planned mini-hike...

And finally, a tip for the rib steaks: look up any well-reviewed recipe out there, that uses pineapple + a zip-lock bag as a tenderizing agent... this is a great way to soften up these cuts, just keep in mind the meat will then have a bit of residual sweetness (BBQ sauces and roasting in an oven work great as a follow-up =)

See ya'll soon!
