Today is the first day of the farm share, and boy did we get our leafy greens. Lots of lettuce, kale, spinach, beets, plus cilantro, dill, french radishes—well, a ton of goodies. I just finished eating a salad composed of the following: one head of lettuce, chopped; one green pepper, chopped; one shallot, minced, one jalapeno, sliced; finely chopped fresh cilantro and dill; freshly grated parmesan; and drizzle with just a bit of balsamic vinegar. I ate the whole thing. It was a bit spicy, but fantastic, and now I am definitely full. Weird to think of lettuce filling me up, but it definitely worked. Of course, I also had a glass of milk (spicy salad, remember?), so that may have had something to do with it.
Lately, I’ve had quite the craving for leafy greens. It’ll take a while to satiate that craving, but it feels good to start the process.
I think tomorrow I’ll have the French breakfast radishes. For breakfast.
