veg box 3

so
i still have i beet left
that i have to decide what to do with
ferment or soup
and i have a lot of citrus fruit left

so i didn't order more fruit
except dates
which i've discovered that i do like
i wasn't sure before

so i'll eat the citrus
and i'm going ahead with the gazpacho idea
but i'm using cilantro
which may not be traditional for gazpacho (need to reference recipes)
i'm also going to use some cilantro
when i ferment the carrots & serranos
i love cilantro
and it's a strong detoxifier

the sage
which i probably would not have thought of
except they included it in my box {suggestions}
i think will be good roasted with some butternut squash

and then shiitake miso soup
i may have too many shiitakes
so i may cook half until they make a stock
and add the other half for eating in the soup
or
i may have to do some stir-fry
or cook them in rice
idk
we'll have to see how much it actually is
i've got some beautiful white miso
but i need to check my kombu supply
i may need more kombu

i think the fermented vegetables are going to work out
not ready yet (the beets, i mean)
but
this is emboldening me to think
maybe i could make kombucha
such an incredible savings
i mostly don't buy it
because it's just so expensive
but i love it
and i've been afraid
but
the beets don't seem to be going rancid
or growing weird experiments
so
maybe
and
if
if i'm wishing for things i could make or grow
that are expensive and difficult to acquire
then
i want to grow sunflower sprouts
they are my favorite
my absolute favorite sprout for sure
and maybe
my favorite green
maybe

then
maybe the goats and the bees can come later
goat cheese
honey
maybe even a chicken
not
in the city
but
who knows

i love you sweetheart
not quite goodnight
still working on stuff
