I made a delicious pasta salad yesterday with golden beets and toasted pine nuts and parmesan.....yummy! Then tonight I made a vegetable pizza with the arugula, japanese eggplant, peppers, and leftover beets and their greens. It was sooooo good! My company was very impressed with the box of goodies that I had! Keep them coming! Thanks for a great start for our CSA! :) This was our first week of the veggies and they have been awesome so far!

]]> Comment on Cool as a (pickled) Cucumber by Patricia http://ritasroots.wordpress.com/2009/06/06/cool-as-a-pickled-cucumber/#comment-58 Patricia Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:04:54 +0000 http://ritasroots.wordpress.com/?p=117#comment-58 I find that full fat Greek yogurt (Fage brand) makes a wonderfully rich cucumber soup and still beats the excessive calorie count of cream. Also, fresh mint is a great substitute when don't have any dill.

]]> Comment on Many Ways to Use Sorrel by Holly Bowling http://ritasroots.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/many-ways-to-use-sorrel/#comment-56 Holly Bowling Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:41:35 +0000 http://ritasroots.wordpress.com/?p=112#comment-56 Hey Rita! Did you know Mariquita is where I get my veggies? Funny... also, Sorrel makes an interesting pizza. Make a homemade crust, bake it, then brush it with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs, toss on some chevre, maybe a little garlic, bake for another few minutes, then sprinkle sorrel on top. no sauce... just light and fresh - yum! wish you had been in asheville so we could have seen each other, but perhaps our paths will cross again soon! hope you're well :-) Hey Rita!
