The last weekend before Christmas! How did we get here? In between last minute gift making, wrapping and shopping, we stopped to have an early Christmas dinner with friends, accidentally went to an estate sale, and enjoyed a latka-filled potluck with new friends. The kittens are enjoying every opportunity to dive into piles of tissue paper, attack our suitcases, and hunt our Christmas decorations. I made a lemon olive oil rosemary cake, but between two afternoon teas, and a Saturday brunch, not a single piece was left on Monday morning.
Since we’re flying out tomorrow, I’ve made it my goal to cook/eat every last perishable CSA veggie in the house, so no vegetable guilt will follow me home for the holidays. Vegetable guilt, in case you’re wondering, is always included with every CSA box. At the moment I pick up our CSA, the clock starts ticking to use the vegetables wisely. Wilted greens, limp radishes, brown parsley? They all cause immense guilt and regret. I do not want to waste those veggies, but sometimes one takeout dinner during the week can send the whole vegetable schedule into overdrive. We’re one lettuce head and a single bunch of mustard greens away from an empty fridge. ANDDDD, we’ve got some wilt-y looking cilantro. Ugh.
I completely understand the vegetable guilt! I forgot to pick up our CSA last week and a small meltdown occured.

Veggie guilt is real! Some weeks are better than others, but takeout or frozen pizza can really derail CSA week around here.
