I live in San Francisco, and my husband and I get a Terra Firma Farm CSA veggie box once a week. It has forced me to be mindful about what I cook, and to explore new recipes -- what do you do with persimmons? However, I find that most weeks I have some piece of greenery left wilting in the crisper, some piece of fruit molding in the fruit bowl. This blog signals a new commitment to using up all of the veggies. I will share recipes and ideas, and hope that you will share yours as well.

Saturday, September 10: Pizza Night!

In "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver, she talks about how Friday night became "pizza night" on their farm. Pizza was relatively quick to cook, and you can make a delicious pizza with just about any vegetable that's in season. For example, last night my coworkers came over and wiped out most of our veggie box:


Pizza #1: Fig, proscuitto, carmelized onion, mozzarella with olive oil sauce on flour crust.
Pizza #2: Caprese: Fresh tomato, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, with olive oil on cornbread crust (needed garlic and salt to give it a kick).
Pizza # 3: Veggie lovers: zucchini, onion, orange peppers, mozzarella on garlic herb crust.
Pizza #4: Pepperoni, onion, mozzarella on flour crust.
Pizza # 5: Peach and gorgonzola on flour crust.


Many thanks to my colleagues who came over and made a delicious meal. I was too busy eating and dealing with my dog to take pictures. You'll just have to imagine the beauty...


Still remaining from last week's box:
- potatoes (x 2 weeks)
- watermelon (x 2 weeks)
- onions 
- cucumber
- few tomatoes
(Asian pear and peach were eaten as snacks)
