Week 1, Box 1, 4 Basket Ingredients....

Welcome to the spectacle everyone! Step right up and watch the disaster in progress. For Monday I received my very Farm Box of the season! A little late due to a cold and late spring but super bountiful. Of course the vast majority of this first box is salad greens, and therefore slightly un-creative, but we've got some goodies too so let's dive in!
This week's box contained the following:
  1. Red Lettuce (which went to my Granddad who was thrilled to see it)
  2. Green Lettuce (Ginormous) 
  3. Half a Bok Choi (the other half taken by the MIL)
  4. Micro Greens
  5. Rhubarb
  6. Two Tomatoes
  7. Garlic Curls  (those curly tops of the garlic that gave me such a heart attach last year)
  8. And Garlic Chives (which are neither garlic nor chives, but still yummy)
I was already making plans in my head, the Rhubarb is OBVIOUSLY being turned into Jam again because it came out so yummy last year and I know I only get it once, twice if I am lucky. Salad greens to be washed up and made into salads (Duh) and I was getting really excited about the Bok Choi when a sadistic smile on The Husband's face reminded me that in my joy in finally having my farm fresh produce back, I had forgotten something...My basket ingredients.
is that, Kiwi? Yes yes it was, and wasabi peas, AND apple chips... not to mention A WHOLE FRIGGEN CHICKEN.
