I got my first CSA box on Friday... yay! (CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture) I'm trying to eat local and in season more often. I didn't quite understand why there were no artichokes available though, since about 95% of the country's artichokes come from Watsonville. The fruit and veggies I got were more ripe and plump than any I've ever gotten at Safeway. Huge bananas, beautiful strawberries, cucumbers, zucchini, green bell peppers, blackberries, and a plentiful bunch of carrots. I'll expand my horizons a bit more as I go, as you can tweak your standing order anytime, as long as it's 48 hours before delivery.

Tomorrow's dinner: stuffed peppers.
