Boston Organics delivery

  • two big bunches of dandelion greens
  • a bunch of green Swiss chard
  • a bag of nine potatoes (five pounds?)
  • a bag of spring mix lettuces
  • a small bag (half a pound?) of sugar snap peas
  • five narrow stalks of broccoli
  • a green pepper (do they ever send other colors?)
  • a good-sized eggplant
  • seven roma tomatoes

Any suggestions for the dandelion greens? I sauteed them last time (with onion), and they were a bit too bitter for me straight like that.

The right thing to do with dandelion greens is make salads. :)

As it so happens, the theme ingredient in [livejournal.com profile] vegan_cookoff a couple of weeks ago was weeds, with most people opting for dandelion greens. The post with all the entries is here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/vegan_cookoff/3097.html).

Add nuts. I find walnuts or almonds counteract bitterness in greens

I dry them, and make tea - it's a wonderful diuretic.
