We’re back from my grandfather’s funeral in Texas (it was wonderful to see all my aunts and cousins, even though our visit was too brief to really do much catching up: and I was reminded yet again that flying with a one-year-old is a really grueling experience). And waiting for us at home was a box full of kale, collard greens, radicchio, leeks, lettuce, carrots, bok choy, oranges, potatoes, and a butternut squash.<\/p>\n
Last night we had pasta with radicchio, squash and browned butter, but honestly it’s not a meal I plan to repeat: the recipe sounded better than the reality proved to be. I also braised the bok choy with garlic and Robin ate it happily for lunch.<\/p>\n
Tonight I’m going to make a vegetable soup out of the kale, potatoes, and leeks, and I have black eyed peas soaking to cook with the collard greens. Sam’s not a big fan of the greens-and-peas meal but Robin and I both like it, so it’ll probably make lunch for a couple days for us. A little salad of the lettuce and carrots can be another lunch. And Robin’s already devoured most of the oranges, so that pretty much takes care of the veggies!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
