This week we’ve got celeriac, sunchokes, onions, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, purple cabbage, mesclun and rapini. There were also turnips but I traded them out for more onions. This was a really good year for onions, actually. I’ve got a cook’s stash of organic red, yellow and French ones.

Speaking of turnips, last weekend I discovered I don’t like turnip purée. I knew I was taking a chance by making it… I never understood the mouth-feel appeal to smooth mush. I think I used too much agave nectar, and it turned out sickly-sweet. So I’m kind of traumatized by turnips for now. Talk about a big bowl of wrong.

But I found a tasty way to use up the celeriac and sunchokes; two things I would have traded if I could, but there’s a one item limit. It was wet and cold when I picked up the basket this afternoon. It was raining, then there was freezing rain and then a bit of snow fell! Killing two birds with one stone, I warmed up the house with the oven and made a relatively easy dinner… a root vegetable and tofu roast. Check it out tomorrow, the pic is amazing!
