I didn’t think skipping a week of the CSA would be that big of a deal. After all, we were out of town until late Monday night, then recovering from the long, six-hour drive on Tuesday.

But wow, was our refrigerator bare. I’d taken everything in the crisper to my parents’, I missed the Wednesday Green City Market, and I didn’t want to buy a ton of produce at the grocery store knowing that today’s share was right around the corner. So, the fridge stayed empty, and our vegetable intake was pitifully low.

I picked up our CSA share this morning, and never thought I’d be so happy to see:

• green peppers
• cucumbers
• tomatoes
• green beans
• Japanese eggplant
• melon
• cabbage
• sweet corn
