What’s New on The Whole Wheat

May 9, 2008 in general

I’ve made a few minor tweaks around here as some of you may have noticed.  No major over hauls, just a few new features.  :-)

  1. I added a VIDEO page where you can find all the videos I’ve made.  It will stay up to date as I add more, so check back often!
  2. Look over on the left hand side.  I’ve added a Twitter spot so you can follow what I’m up to!  If you are on Twitter let me know!  (Not sure what Twitter is or why I would add a spot?  Well Twitter is a way to keep up with what your friends are doing, where they might be heading, or any thoughts if interest that cross your mind.  Try it – its fun!  8-) )
  3. By now I’m sure you’ve noticed the Food Buzz banners on the right.  What an amazing community! Full of food blogger and people with food opinions.  Come on over and play!
  4. And if you are into RSS feeds, don’t forget that its easy to add The Whole Wheat to your RSS reader!  Just click the “RSS” tab in the navigation area up top!  Yes, its *that* easy.

Hope that you enjoy some of these new toys.  Send any thoughts or new ideas my way!

CSA Box, Week of May 7

May 8, 2008 in CSA

I have a fantastic photo at home of the amazing leeks we are getting in our boxes recently. Honestly I think the leek is about 3 feet long! WOW!

The strawberries have been coming weekly for about a month now and I just cannot get enough. Commercially produced strawberries don’t even have a fraction of the flavor these contain in each bite. Plus I have been told that there are several varieties of strawberry planted, so throughout the spring and summer the specific flavor & type of strawberry will evolve. Exciting!! :D

And with that, let me tell you about this week’s amazing box:

  • leeks
  • strawberries
  • big bag of mixed salad greens
  • Lacinto kale
  • carrots
  • baby turnips with perfect greens still attached
  • spicy & delicious radishes
  • little bag of spinach

As I mentioned in the video, I typically top the leeks and other items such as radishes & turnips. This simply means removing the greens from the turnip bulb and storing them separately. It helps the root keep longer to remove the greens. For the leeks I cut off the long weedy parts we won’t eat just so they are easy to store. :-)
