Eugh. I HATE cereal dust. Upside is that Hub doesn't mind it, so I just let him have the last bowl of cereal. I'd rather have toast than a mouthfull of sludge.

Where's the review?

Did you guys make your own stock for the chicken soup, or purchase it?

house made egg pasta with olive oil and garlic. delish!

nice read! we get a CSA box too, although with all the rain and flooding we've had lately, we've been without a delivery for a month until this morning (finally!)

I do this every single week for my husband and myself. We get a CSA delivery once a week and I try to use what we are getting it in (usually the same for a few weeks) to plan my meals around. It runs us about the same amount for two people (in Houston).

How much stuff did you freeze/have left over at the end of the week?

Drop cookies -- most especially chocolate chip cookies. Oh yum.

Grape bubblicious is STILL my favorite gum. YUM.

I find the easiest way to hack up a chicken is to first take off the wings and drumsticks (you can use your hands and take them apart at the joints), then cut along the breast bone with a strong pair of kitchen shears so the chest cavity is open and easier to work with. Remove the breast meat and set aside. Now for the hacking! Using a rubber mallet can be helpful if you find you're not hitting your mark with repeated whacks, that way you can set your cleaver in your previous notch and bring the mallet down on top of the cleaver to break the bone. Now you're using the force of the mallet to get the work done instead of just the cleaver. I do the back first, then the breast side, then hack the wings and drum sticks. I just kind of do it higgledy piggledy making sure my chunks aren't too big, but I'm not there with measuring tape or anything.

It is messy work, I put the hacked up pieces in a bowl/pot as I'm working and usually have to rinse of the cleaver halfway through. Stick a damp rag under your cutting board to help stabilize your work surface and that can help cut down on stuff moving around.
