Rabbit food
By Carrie | March 4, 2008
For the past few days, I’ve been eating like a rabbit — devouring huge salads made of micro greens and baby chard, topped with multicolored carrots. These bunny-friendly cultivars are thanks to the Piedmont Biofarm, one of my favorites of the Durham Farmer’s Market. Can’t wait until it is open every weekend (and on Wednesdays!) during the summer season. We love to go even though Oak grows vegetables out on the patio. It’s fun to walk around and we usually find an excuse to go out and eat brunch afterwards.. Yum!
We’re also joining a CSA this year. CSA stands for community supported agriculture. You buy a share in the farm early in the season, and you get a variety of veggies, fruit, eggs, and meat starts every week. Besides the deliciousness of it all, it’s nice to know that we are going to be giving a local farm the support they need to get through the season.
One of Oak’s new favorite hobbies is buying an unusual vegetable and then finding a recipe to make with it. It sounds like we’ll be having enough veggies around to keep this hobby going! One of our favorite new finds is daikon, which is a radish-like root vegetable. So far, we’ve eaten it raw in salads and mixed into stir-fries.

I love micro greens–we have a variety here which really isn’t that micro, called valeriana, (kind of like big mache) which is so tender and good–I buy it every week, even thought it’s a bit more expensive.

Nothing to do with the content of this post, but last night on tv they were showing Brigadoon in Italian and I was dying laughing remembering the time we tried to watch it in high school. Delerium(Cirque) is in Torino this weekend–I know you saw it awhile back and weren’t extremely enthusiastic about it…would you recommend seeeing it??
