A Merry CSA Meal
| |
|
Much of our Christmas dinner was based on produce from Tanaka Farms, received in our CSA box about a week ago. The greens in the salad, the onions and potatoes in the scalloped potatoes, the parsley and onions on the salmon, and the steamed broccoli and cauliflower, all from the CSA. (The tomatoes in the salad are also local--late bloomers from our yard.)

Flowers Mend a Skirt
