csa week 10

just in time for this week 11 pickup...
thanks to b. crocker for the beauteous cornucopia pic and for actually picking all this stuff up while i was out of town (more about that in a future post). the photo probably gives an accurate idea of how much produce there is to lug home.

1. the bounty

• 5 small hot peppers
  
• 1 bunch collard greens
  
• 1/4 lb wild arugula
  
• 1 head romaine lettuce
  
• 1 bunch broccoli rabe
  
• 1/4 lb green beans
  
• 1/4 lb mesclun
  
• 1/3 lb sweet potatoes
  
• 1/3 lb potatoes
  
• 1 bunch red radishes
  
• 1/4 lb braising greens
• 2 pears
• 8 apples

2. cost analysis (comparison costs courtesy of freshdirect except where otherwise indicated):

veggies:

• 5 small hot peppers: $1 (guesstimate)
  
• 1 bunch collard greens: $3 (organic)
  
• 1/4 lb wild arugula: $3

actual csa cost per week = $11.67

b. crocker, care to share any dish highlights with us? sorry, everyone, i didn't get my hands on the produce this time around. (since i'm sure all 4 loyal readers are dying to know what i cooked...)
