Easy Dinner w/ CSA Produce
We have quickly gotten into the habit of roasting as much as we can on a Friday night when we are scheduled to receive the box. It provides an excellent, quick n' easy dinner plus ample leftovers for the weekend.

Experiment #1: The CSA
I'm not sure when I first heard of the CSA movement. It could have been Dr. Skladany's classes at Michigan State or my first eco-job at Urban Options. But I vividly remember visiting my first CSA with my dad and little brothers outside of East Lansing, Michigan.
Today, 7 years later, I got my first box! We are now members of the Tierra Miguel Farm Foundation.
Nate and I are aggressively trying to save money in 2008. That is part of the story. We also are obsessed with cookbooks and often read excerpts aloud together. The box full of surprises seemed like a perfect challenge.
According to Michael Pollan, in The Omnivore's Dilemma, the average distance food has traveled to arrive at the American dinner plate is 1500 miles. It feels great that mine only traveled 100 miles.
