This is a reprint from my personal blog from July 31, 2010
I just got back from the CSA farm where I picked up a wonderful share of summer vegetable. Let me just plug this for a minute. River Road Gardens is a beautiful biodynamic farm tended by two very dedicated and extremely hardworking and loving people: Jon and Emily. I feel so blessed every time I pick up my share of the crop.
Today Emily told me how much trouble they are having with vermin. There are lots of critters in the field trying to eat up all the food we humans have paid for. This is one trick about growing crops without poison. But, they are committed to poison-free growing. I didn’t feel like the voles got my food. I came home with a big bag of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, okra, basil, onions and amaranth! I’ll do a bit of research on that one. I have only ever had amaranth inside baked goods.
So, this week I will make Ratatouille for the first time. What goes with it? Good crusty bread I am thinking.
Stay tuned for a delicious meal...
