I really love my CSA, and it’s pretty convenient for me. It actually used to be a little more convenient, when I could pick it up down the street from my gym. Now I pick it up at a place on the way home, which involves a few extra turns on the road, but it’s not too bad. I also really like Farmers Markets, but the things I like most about the CSA are the convenience, knowing that I am supporting local farmers (I pay by the season so they know they are guaranteed that amount of money as opposed to just trying to self their stuff after it’s grown) and that it encourages me to try new vegetables. I think it is absolutely worth it – plus mine is pretty affordable!

That is funny, Sarah! I guess a lot of people is my answer! My good friend Becca doesn’t like them either, it turns out. But sweet potatoes are awesome, I agree! Wow, I am absolutely making that kale pizza crust – how creative are you!? That looks awesome, and I even have a jar of pizza sauce and some shredded mozzarella sitting in my fridge from a pizza party I had, a pizza stone in the oven,and some shallots just waiting to be caramelized to go on top… just need to pick up some eggs!

I totally have a full junk-drawer of old envelopes (um, that one with the note turned out to be DIVORCE PAPERS for our apartment’s old tenant), insides of cereal boxes, etc. I save it all – it comes in very handy!

using old envelopes as scrap paper is such a good idea!
