CSA California- Sign me up!

In order to write this blog entry, I needed to look up the definition of CSA. It means Community Supported Agriculture. Or for me, it means I don't have to go to the Farmer's Market to go shopping for fresh fruits and veggies. I just have to pull behind a raw foods restaurant here in Santa Monica (that I'll likely never eat at) on Sunday evenings and pick up a bag of delicious and nutritious food.

I was inspired by my good friend Tif who does this all the way on the other side of the country in North Carolina. She's talked about it for a couple of years, and I've always scoffed at it, reminding myself that I'm too damn picky to just go with a box of random fruits and veggies that someone else picks out for me. But, like a lot of things since playing the game, that's all changed. And I may go as far as saying I'm determined to at least try everything that comes my way. However, I hate beets, for example, I think they absolutely taste like dirt, so I'm not sure I'll really be able to live up to that since it came in this week's grab bag.

Here's a look inside this week's bag:


I am excited to try this out for the next four weeks though. I am sure I'll be eating a variety of things I've never had before and branching out even more.

PS- I already tried a tangelo and I have to say, it was delish!
