A gorgeous box of seasonal, organic produce is delivered to the electronic cottage each week. Many of the vegetables are new to me. As I search blogs and cookbooks for ways to use this bounty, I'm posting the dishes here so I can remember them in the future.

Our box comes from a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm.
