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.

Thursday, October 13: Leah and OCS come to dinner!

We threw something quick and easy together tonight in honor of our 4 month-old guest and his mom:


Pesto Pasta & Arugula Salad with Persimmon, Walnuts and Parmesan:
So, sadly about half of the arugula had wilted due to the delicious warm sunny weather we've been having.  But, I salvaged the rest, cut up one persimmon, sprinkled in some walnuts, and grated some parmesan over it. Add a simple red-wine vinaigrette, et presto!


What's left?

bunch green beans
bunch grapes
1 persimmon
3 carrots
4 tomatoes
3 sweet potatoes
3 pears
4 small bunches bok choy
1 bulb garlic
1 1/4 cups of walnuts
