There's one feature of FB that I really wish DW would have: the ability to look at all the posts I've ever made on $Date (edit for clarity: where date = month + day, ignoring the year, so all June 5ths, or October 2s, over all the years that have a post for that date, all on one page rather than navigating through the archive /edit).

Does anyone know whether this is a thing DW already offers that I just don't know about?
Does anyone know where I could make this suggestion if it doesn't already exist?

  • four pounds of large carrots
  • four pounds of small potatoes
  • three pounds of purple-top turnips
  • one pound of beets
  • three pounds of spinach
  • two three-quarter-ounce packages of basil (from Happy Valley Farm; they have a heated greenhouse, not just a hoop house)

First thoughts: pureed vegetable soup with carrots, potatoes, spinach, also onions and maybe mushrooms, plus lentils. Carrot kugel. Carrot, turnip, and/or beet pickles. Mashed neeps. Mashed potatoes. Eggs with spinach, a la shakshuka.

The next farm share distribution will be the summer share, starting in late May or early June, depending on spring weather (happy almost vernal equinox!).

I was away, so a friend picked up my share for me. I just picked up, and these are approximate amounts based on what they mentioned.
  • a big bag of spinach
  • four pounds of white potatoes
  • four pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of beets
  • two pounds of scarlet queen turnips
  • a jar of Giardiniera (Kitchen Garden Farm; not hechshered, so swapped for more potatoes)

First thoughts: roast the turnips, and/or pickle some of them. Same with the carrots. Baked sweet potatoes. Split pea soup with carrots and/or sweet potatoes.
magid: (Default)
Still frigid, so still a boxed share, meaning I'm guessing quantities. For the carrots, I think around five pounds, and for the other root veggies, at least three pounds.
  • carrots
  • little potatoes
  • sweet potatoes
  • beets
  • a big bag of spinach (a pound, maybe?)
  • two four-ounce packages of mixed salad sprouts (alfalfa, china rose radish, and crimson clover) from Gill Greenery

First thoughts: sandwiches with lots of sprouts. Salad with lots of sprouts (perhaps tuna and sprouts and corn relish and sunflower seeds? or roasted beets and sprouts in a mustard vinaigrette with feta?). Saute the spinach before it gets too aged. Pickle some carrots and maybe beets. Potatoes: boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew. Sweet potatoes, well, I'm also behind on sweet potatoes, though I do like them lots.
magid: (Default)
It was mild yesterday, but today was quite chilly again, so a boxed share again. I'm guessing about three pounds-ish (maybe more) for each type of root.
  • carrots
  • sweet potatoes
  • potatoes
  • purple starburst daikon (swapped for more potatoes, because I still have daikon, and current times have me craving potatoes)
  • "rutabagas" (in quotes because while the email said they were rutabagas, these look a lot more like Macomber turnips to me, since they're white-fleshed, not cream, and have green shoulders, not purple)
  • two medium-small bags of spinach
  • a bag of shiitakes (::mushroom happydance::)

First thoughts: sauted spinach and shiitakes with tofu and miso, over rice (maybe some sweet potato, too). Mashed, sauted, and/or roasted potatoes and "rutabagas". Carrot kugel. Baked sweet potatoes. Vegan kishke. Carrot pickles.
magid: (Default)
It's cold enough that the shares were boxed again, so I don't have specific weights, but when I lifted the half bushel box to the table to decant veggies into bags that I could carry, the weight was noticeable. I'm guessing all the root veg are at least three pounds each, likely more.
  • two medium bags of spinach
  • potatoes
  • carrots
  • sweet potatoes
  • parsnips (yay!)
  • a package of Mi Terra corn tortillas (swapped for more sweet potatoes, one of the two things in the swap box)
  • a jar of roasted chili salsa (swapped for more parsnips, the other swap box choice (hey, at least it wasn't carrots, which I already have a surfeit of))

First thoughts: baked carrot pudding/kugel. Potatoes with sauted onions and sausages. Garlicky, lemony wilted spinach. Baked sweet potatoes. Roasted carrots and parsnips. Root soup.

I wish the farm would consider getting dried beans, or grains, or mushrooms, or something in lieu of non-hechshered products.
magid: (Default)
This pickup was boxed instead of choose-your-own from various bins, because the weather is so bitterly cold. It was a full half-bushel box, a lot of weight, but I don't have the usual poundage information, since things were pre-packed, and I'm too lazy to pull out the kitchen scale.
  • a pint of Real Pickles kimchi (given to the site coordinator, since alas, no kosher certification)
  • a big bag of spinach
  • seven good-sized sweet potatoes (three pounds? four pounds?)
  • one giant white and two medium purple starburst daikon (maybe three pounds?)
  • nine medium beets (again, guessing three-ish pounds, maybe somewhat less)
  • seventeen medium-small potatoes (three pounds?)
  • fifty-six medium to medium-small carrots (five pounds? six?)(there are always carrots!)

First thoughts: I hope the site coordinator stays warm through the distribution window (and people come as early as possible so he can leave early). Carrot-daikon slaw of some sort. Roasted beets and carrots. Carrot soup. Baked sweet potatoes. Sauted spinach with garlic, or just keep adding a handful of chopped spinach to everything (greens every day!). Potatoes - boil, mash, stick in a stew.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of potatoes (mostly smallish)
  • three pounds of beets (mostly mid-sized)
  • a pound and a half of purple-top turnips
  • three pounds of sweet potatoes
  • four pounds of carrots (oddly, a bunch of the larger ones that I was aiming for were flattish on one side, like they'd grown next to an in-ground fence or something; I chose a lot of them, figuring it's easier to cut them with a flat surface already provided)
  • two medium bunches of kale
  • two bags (a pound each? maybe more?) of spinach

First thoughts: these are all fine, but I wish there was something I was super excited about (rutabaga, parsnip, celeriac, sunchokes....). Maybe something kale and sweet potato with berbere seasoning and chickpeas. Saute lots of spinach with the garlic I still have lots of. Roasted carrots (with beets?), also carrots into split pea soup. Potatoes and kale again. Shredded root veg kugel with a variety of the roots, maybe.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of potatoes
  • three pounds of sweet potatoes (generally small ones)
  • three pounds of daikon (I was able to get small ones, all violet)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • a medium head of green cabbage
  • two smallish bunches of kale
  • one big bag of spinach

First thoughts: I need to get alliums. Some variety of cole slaw. Baked sweet potatoes. A colcannon variant with mashed potatoes and massaged kale. More pickled daikon. Sauted spinach, maybe with one of the Indian pouch meals, along with a potato or two.
magid: (Default)
  • four pounds of carrots (I chose the horse carrot size over the more slender ones)
  • three pounds of potatoes (not nearly enough for me, alas)
  • two pounds of smallish beets (a mix of colors)
  • a small bunch of green kale
  • a big bag of salad mix
  • two big bags of spinach
  • two medium heads of cabbage (I chose smaller purple ones over larger green ones)
  • four leeks
  • take-what-you-want herbs (I passed)

First thoughts: I will need to buy onions before Thanksgiving (also other things, obv). Green salad with sunflower seeds and olives or something. Cabbage-carrot slaw. Sauted spinach and garlic. Roasted carrots (possibly with hot honey and miso, or hot honey and tahini). Carrot soup. Stir fried carrots and cabbage with tofu, etc. Carrot-beet latkes. Carrot kishke.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of sweet potatoes
  • three pounds of daikon (I got there too late to get purple ones, so white ones it is)
  • a bag of cloves of garlic (I weighed it; about three quarters of a pound)
  • two heads of cabbage (I chose tiny ones the size of baseballs, because I already have So Much Cabbage, plus I was able to nab the last purple cabbage and a green one about the same size, and they look adorable together)
  • two of the tiniest butternut squashes I've ever seen (as in, I wasn't the only one to ask if they were actually honeynuts, though the necks were skinnier than honeynut necks)
  • four leeks
  • a pound and a half of spinach
  • a pound and a half of mixed salad greens (swapped for another bag of garlic cloves(this one weighed almost a pound) because I am not yet caught up with All The Greens)
  • take what you want herbs (I skipped them)

First thoughts: I have a whole lot of garlic; should I start a third 2024 batch of 7-year garlic pickles? Plant some (assuming it ever gets cold; mid-70s F in November is Just Wrong for here)? Make a lot of shahee polo with that and some of the abundant carrots? Roast a ton of them?
Possibly a mixed slaw of green and red cabbages, carrot, and daikons (I have some purple ones from last week still, despite canning seven pints of spicy daikon pickles. Note to self: need to get more cases of pint jars, since I'm out of empty ones, despite having many in other sizes.), dressed with lime and maybe sesame?
Saute the spinach with a bunch of garlic. A batch of orange soup (squash, sweet potato, carrot), possibly spicy and peanut buttery and kale and more.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of potatoes
  • three pounds of beets
  • two heads of cabbage (I chose medium ones, one green, one Savoy; there were large ones bigger than my head)
  • ten heads of garlic
  • a bag of spinach
  • a bag of Swiss chard
  • a bag of kale
  • take-what-you-want herbs (I chose none)

First thoughts: I'm still awash with last week's veggies (see: Jewish Holiday Time), and due to the farm wanting to make the schedule 'nice' for Thanksgiving/Xmas, the second winter share pickup is not in two weeks, but next week, so I have to start major cooking!

Potatoes mashed with kale. Colcannon. Cole slaw. Kale salad with cubes of roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, and tahini dressing. Carrot pickles. Beet pickles. Greens sauted with garlic, and maybe turned into a quiche or vegetable pie. Roasted garlic. Roasted cabbage.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of potatoes
  • three pounds of sweet potatoes
  • three pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of daikon (I chose all violet over white)
  • six heads of garlic
  • eight leeks
  • eight stalks of broccoli with leaves
  • a pound of spinach
  • a pound of mixed salad greens

First thoughts: it's yomtov again in less than two hours. Maybe some of this will be cooked on chag. I signed up for the winter share through Stone Soup, preferring non-boxed, every other week over another farm's every week boxed share.
magid: (Default)
  • two pounds of carrots
  • two pounds of beets (some were large; I ended up with two beets total)
  • six heads of garlic
  • two butternut squashes of unusual size (weighty: I could totally do curls and other lifts with them if they were a little smaller in circumference)
  • two heads of Napa or what look like Savoy cabbages (I chose Savoy for both, and the smallest ones I could find)
  • a pound of spinach
  • a pound of mixed salad greens (half swapped for more garlic)
  • two bunches of kale or Bright Lights Swiss chard (I chose kale; it lasts longer)
  • take-what-you-want herbs (I took none)
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers (I took a handful of various types

First thoughts: Sukkot starts in an hour, so this will be dealt with after Shabbat, possibly not until Monday evening. Kale salad. Green salad. Butternut soup. Butternut slices baked on puff pastry. Spicy carrot pickles, or beet pickles, or beet-cabbage relish, or carrot-beet relish. Sauted spinach with garlic (possibly to become spinach pie in some form).
magid: (Default)
  • two pounds of white potatoes (red or yellow skin)
  • two pounds of sweet potatoes
  • one pound of smallish yellow onions (I chose the largest I could find; some were as small as large cloves of garlic)
  • four stalks of broccoli
  • two small heads of cauliflower (yay cauliflower!)
  • two bunches of beets with greens
  • four leeks
  • eight small eggplants
  • two pounds of spinach
  • four green peppers
  • two medium heads of green cabbage
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers (I didn't take many, having a bunch from previous weeks to get through)

First thoughts: no carrots! I have the chance to catch up! Sweet potato-leek-apple soup, possibly with some carrots. Roasted cabbage. Potato-leek knishes*. Roasted cauliflower. Roasted peppers + eggplant. Baba ganoush. Sauteed greens (spinach & beet) with sweet potatoes and berbere seasoning, plus alliums and some kind of sausage (vegan more likely).


* OMG the first recipe that Google queued up said one can sub bacon grease for schmaltz, and includes cheese & sour cream as well. So very very treif, which is Just Wrong for knishes.

A friend offered to pick me up at work, bring me to the distribution site, and then home, so I gifted her some salad greens, daikon, eggplant, broccoli, and hot peppers (especially since there's less cooking time this week before next week's share).
  • three pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of potatoes
  • three pounds of sweet potatoes
  • three pounds of daikon (I chose purple over white, and small over large)
  • eight medium-small eggplants
  • eight stalks of broccoli with greens
  • eight sweet peppers (mostly green ones)
  • six leeks
  • two pounds of mixed salad greens
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers

First thoughts: how will I fit this into the fridge with all the RH/Shabbat food? What can stay out until I Tetris more room?

Also, yay potatoes and leeks! Mashed potatoes with sauted leeks could happen using the plata (I'm not leaving the oven or a gas burner on for three days). Green salad to a variety of meals I'm not hosting. Stir-fry of some sort. Carrot-daikon pickles and slaw (there may need to be another bout of canning Sunday to keep up). More habanero honey.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • six medium red onions
  • four heads of garlic
  • six eggplants (I chose larger ones, which in this context means medium)
  • four sweet peppers (I chose a mix of red and yellow, long and bell)
  • two bunches of Bright Lights Swiss chard
  • two heads of romaine lettuce
  • ten really long scallions
  • eight stalks of broccoli with greens
  • take-what-you-want herbs, including oregano, thyme, shiso, sage, rosemary, and something else (I passed; I haven't been keeping up with herbs at all)
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers (I chose a mix of banana, jalapeno, what I think might be cayenne, and habanero (it's [personal profile] minoanmiss' fault :-) ))

First thoughts: some kind of green salad with the romaine. Habaneros in honey. Roasted eggplant and peppers. Stir fry with onion, carrot, Napa, broccoli, scallions, tofu, and whatever seasonings. Roasted garlic. Sauted chard with garlic.

The tricky part is that RH starts next Wednesday night, so I really have to figure out what will last to be cooked Tuesday night for the holiday, and strategize how I'll deal with an influx of produce just before chag. (This will repeat in two weeks, and the week after that.)
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of potatoes
  • three pounds of daikon (I chose smaller ones, and mostly purple, some white)
  • two pounds of spinach
  • four sweet peppers (I chose mostly-red bells, some with a touch of purple (!))
  • six heads of garlic
  • six leeks
  • two heads of cabbage (I chose small green cabbages over larger Napa ones, because I still have both of last week's Napa ones in the fridge... oops)
  • take-what-you-want herbs (I took a bunch of rosemary, and some tarragon, leaving the shiso, thyme, and oregano, plus possibly something else)
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers (I took a bunch of jalapenos, a few Thai bird peppers, a cayenne, and zero habaneros, because I am a wimpy person who does not want murder pepeppers)

First thoughts: jalapeno poppers again, maybe with nondairy cream cheese this time. Okonomiyaki, using cabbage, carrot, daikon, and some allium. Sauted spinach with garlic. Roasted chicken and potatoes with rosemary (this has been stuck in my head for over a week now, so it should probably happen soon). Some kind of daikon-carrot slaw, perhaps with Napa too. Mayo-dressed cole slaw. Roasted cabbage, possibly also with potato. Potato-leek soup, possibly using some corn stock as part of the base.

More daikon uses welcomed!
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • six red onions (I chose medium over small, where possible)
  • two heads of Napa cabbage
  • four sweet peppers (I chose long over bell, two red and two yellow)
  • six eggplants (medium to small)
  • four heads of garlic
  • two bunches of cooking greens (ie kale/collards/Swiss chard; I chose all kale)
  • twenty-four tomatoes (most fairly small)
  • two-thirds of a pound of basil (I swapped half for three more eggplants)
  • take-what-you-want herbs (I took some shiso, rosemary, and sage; there was also thyme, oregano, and holy basil, plus probably something else I'm forgetting)
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers (jalapenos, little red curled ones, and light yellow-green ones; I chose a mix of all three, but least of the little red ones, since they seemed to be close to their use-by date)

First thoughts: roasted ratatouille with basil. Pureed basil. Baba ganoush with roasted garlic. Plain roasted garlic. Baked carrots. Kale salad with lemon-tahini dressing. Some kind of slaw with Napa cabbage, carrot, lime, soy sauce, etc., possibly also with seasoned tofu. Jalapeno poppers. Hot pepper jam.
magid: (Default)
  • three pounds of carrots
  • three pounds of potatoes
  • two medium heads of green cabbage
  • twelve ears of corn
  • eight small yellow onions

  • eight red or yellow peppers (I chose a mix of colors and shape, both bell and Italia)
  • twenty-four medium-small tomatoes
  • a pound of mixed salad greens (half swapped for six more ears of corn)
  • ten large scallions

First thoughts: tomato-corn salad. Corn relish with peppers. Roasted tomatoes and peppers. Roasted heads of garlic. Add some garlic to the half-gallon not-quite-filled jar with the just-started batch of torshi seer. Cabbage and carrot slaw. Corn stock. Green salad with tomatoes, corn, and scallions. Roasted cabbage and potatoes.
