Now we're cooking with beets

Our friends gave us their recent share of vegetables from Luscher Farms and that's got us cooking with beets. Beets! Darr found a recipe online that was simple but tasty - roasted beets with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. We paired that with a lamb steak for dinner. Yummy.

Going to a farm to pick up veggies is pretty cool. You just know by looking at the goods that what you're getting is going to taste a gazillion times better than the manufactured crap at the store. Our bounty included beets, early tomatoes, white onions, dill, baby squash, arugula, lettuce, chard, cauliflower, and parsley. There was only one item we returned home with that could not be identified - some spicy, leafy type food that remains a mystery. We've been enjoying the fresh food and are now considering signing up for next season's crops. Things we've eaten so far include - fresh lettuce, tomato, and mystery-leaf salad, arugula and parsley pesto, fried potatoes with dill, roasted beets, and pan-fried chard.
