I love flying spaceships. Is it kolhrabi?

You win a star!

I was a little too rushed before Shabbat with the veggie pickup, obviously :-). I'm really glad I did the winter share, but the timing sure sucked.

The wine was a J. Furst Cabernet Sauvignon (no year on the label), which was quite nice after it had rested open for half an hour before dinner.

Puff pastry really really really does better served immediately (ie, not for Shabbat).

The meatloaf was the standard three pounds of ground turkey, a jar of eggplant-garlic spread, multigrain flakes, and ketchup squiggles on top.

Neeps and potatoes mashed together with some nutmeg and olive oil are an excellent combination, much better than I expected (read: I finished those leftovers first).

The sweet potatoes were very spicy, in a distributed way. Use Electrictruffle's plastic bag method again.


The mesclun all went into the green salad, which was mesclun, some green leaf lettuce(from the previous winter share box, amazingly still good (and there's still another head to go...)), the rest of the pomegranate seeds, chopped walnuts, diced sunchokes, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. I missed the feta; something else would've been good, but I'm not sure what. It got finished, though.

The crisp also had bits of pecan in with the fruit. The topping was blah (I didn't have the multigrain flakes yet, so it was flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, and brown sugar mixed with olive oil; rather tasteless), but it got mixed in a bit with the fruit, so I don't think anyone noticed. Er, not that much dessert was eaten.

Maybe a bit of your salted lemon?

You know, I never think to put preserved lemon in raw things, but that might've worked.
