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.

Monday, October 10: No Free Lunch

Today is Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples' Day, depending on who you ask. In any event, I don't have school. So I have spent this rainy day at home with my pup and a pile of grading. Instead of my delicious local, organic, seasonal cafeteria food at school, I was forced to fend for myself...

Turkey, Brie & Granny Smith Apple Melt
This sandwich was inspired by the Vermonter sandwich at Noonie's deli in Middlebury, Vermont. Except instead of ham, it has turkey; brie in place of cheddar, and regular dijon mustard instead of honey mustard. Which I guess means they're not similar at all...
I toasted the roll first, and then applied a layer of Dijon mustard, a slice of peppered roast turkey, thin slices of Granny Smith, and a couple thin slabs of Brie. Then, into the oven it went until melty and delicious-looking.

What's left:
1/2 bunch dino kale
1 red sweet peppers
bunch green beans
2 lbs potatoes
3 onions
1 Granny Smith apples
1/2 cantaloupe
