Weeds and Great Food

7/9/2012

One of the best things about living on a farm is the great food available for the picking anytime we want it---except when we are saving the best for our subscribers. That said, as a cook, there is nothing better than pondering the dinner menu, then walking out and gathering what is needed. Last night, we had leftover chard from picking for the boxes. So, we tossed chopped onions and chard in olive oil with a little salt and pepper and grilled them using a grill pan. When the vegetables were tender-crisp, we added feta cheese--amazing! Thanks to one of our subscribers for the idea. 
Another great thing about this time in the farm season is weeding. What a contrast to our day jobs where the outcome of what we do on a daily basis is often not clear--with weeding, we KNOW what we have done. Most of our weeds pull up pretty easy (except the ones that don't) and the activity is almost soothing. Tonight I was a bit disappointed when we had to prioritize and plant more cucumbers and winter squash instead of weeding the corn. But, the weeds will be there tomorrow.
