homegrown wisconsin CSA, week 1

I got my first box of veggies this week. Included were two kinds of cheese (I bought a cheese share), a dozen eggs (not shown), lettuce, asparagus, radishes, green garlic, rhubarb, chives, mint, a jar of pear butter, spinach, and a carton of white mushrooms.

So, after washing most of it I decided some veggie dinner was in order. A couple slices of pesto cheddar with wheat wafer bread, some steamed asparagus with coarse salt and butter, and a bowl of sliced raw radishes and steamed spinach topped with chives, salt, olive oil, and red wine vinegar.
For dessert, I tried the pear butter on some wheat crackers. Mmmm. Delish!

Pear butter? Huh?
That looks extremely healthy, though.
White mushrooms, too? Did you start singing like Grace Slick when you unpacked those? (Don’t mind me, I’m weird like that).

Ha, Grace Slick!
