This was seriously easy and delicious. I used radiatore which was PERFECT for this consistency of sauce! I also subbed roasted sunflower kernals because i'm not too keen on pine nuts.

Overall I wished it was a bit more garlicky, but even my pea hating husband loved this. Definitely adding this trick to my repertoire :)

This is our first CSA year and the first pickup was Friday. Greens greens greens! We had some red/green leaf lettuce, mesclun mix, spinach, pea shoots (never had these before, pretty yummy!), strawberries, rhubarb, green onions, radishes, and a loaf of bread. Everything's been great so far but I'm looking forward to beets and more variety.

wings.

Ice cream. I can restrain myself, but my husband will eat an entire tub without realizing it. (For this reason, we splurge on Ben & Jerrys or Hagen Daaz maybe once a month, since the containers are smaller and therefore there is less harm to be done...)

60% as well.

I think the asparagus question is a bit misleading - after the initial growth required, doesn't it grow back more regularly? (Hopefully that is phrased vaguely enough not to ruin anyone's fun...)

I love them but ONLY if my husband comes along on the shopping trip.... otherwise I am so distracted by scanning that, no matter what, a "helpful" employee will come along and bag my groceries in 142 plastic bags instead of using the reusable ones that I left near the bagging area. Or they will put a gallon of milk in one bag, eggs in one, and cereal in another... then everything else in the remaining 139 plastic bags.

My husband begged me to make him this! I have to admit, I always thought sardines were basically anchovies only bigger, having never had either growing up. These sandwiches were like delicious, filling, grown-up tuna salad! I used arugula instead of parsley but otherwise stayed true. Sardines are now a pantry staple for us. :)

I have a friend who has a medical need for electrolytes and we've turned up some interesting possibilities. If convenience is the biggest issue, Smart Water is a good sugarless alternative. There are also a ton of packets available that you mix with water - the most easily available is Emergen-C, which has the benefit of a fruity taste and comes in a few flavors. It is "electrolyte balanced" although I'm not sure how it compares with the ingrediants in your average Gatorade.

I virtually lived off of this recipe in college, and it's still one of my faves. I like adding coconut milk now and again, too. 3 tablespoons chopped tomatoes? That doesn't sound right; I normally would use a whole can...
