I just picked up my CSA share at the local organic farm.  The colors and variety of vegetables were so beautiful that I had to arrange them on my counter and take a picture. It is not exactly Cezanne but lovely, just the same.

Vegetable Love

Now I have to figure out what to do with this bounty. A beet salad will make a fresh, healthy dish for the Thanksgiving feast, one down!  Squash soups are delicious and keep for a few days, two down.  I don’t even want to cook that purple cauliflower, it is so lovely raw, so maybe a big crunchy salad, that makes three! There are apples and cranberries, and crisp is a favorite in my family, five vegetables cooked and eaten! The rest will have to wait until after Thanksgiving, though I am tempted to turn the pumpkin into pie instead of relying on canned puree. And that will be my week, like so many others. My chicks will be home and I will be cooking and eating and giving thanks for the bounty on my plate and in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving! Joy
