Mother Earth

Our first CSA delivery arrived today!!


Badge was home to accept the bounty, and subsequently eat some of it (greens and grapefruit) before I came home to take pictures. To our surprise, we even got four eggs. According to the Seabreeze Farms website, they don't force their hens to lay so these eggs are truly al natural. Everything looks very fresh and healthy. Couldn't be happier!


We also got a nice bouquet of flowers to brighten our house.


For dinner, I cooked up the carrots in some chicken broth, honey, butter, and lemon juice. I also made some cappelini with a cream sauce of garlic, butter, heavy cream, basil, and this spicy paste. For kicks, I topped the pasta with a poached egg. Ryan tossed the mixed greens with some dressing for a nice side. Tasty and healthy.


Looking at the amount of food we got (plus flowers), I think going to the store for the same stuff could be cheaper - maybe 5 to 10 bucks cheaper depending on where you go. But let's consider the fact that all this stuff is organic and travelled such a short distance. We get to help Mother Earth and support local farmers at the same time - well worth it. Badge has even started researching places to buy local fish and cheese.

Almost time for SYTYCD...
