- Sweet onions
- Shallots (these stand out because I once read or heard Anthony Bourdain say that using shallots is what separates home cooks from professional chefs)

Fall CSA: Week 2
This week I did not pick up much produce, mainly because I will not have time to use it before leaving for Thanksgiving week. Instead, I let my friends keep most of the vegetables. What I did get, however, looks delicious:

CSA: Week 25
I have finally reached the end of my CSA journey. Well, not quite, as I signed up for a 7- or 8-week "fall extension," but I am not counting that.
What did I think? Well, it was pretty neat not having to go shopping for produce each week. I prepared vegetables I would have otherwise not used, like radishes and beets, and were introduced to a few new ones, like tatsoi. The experience also reaffirmed that I find lettuce boring and I need to find a better way (or improve my technique) to cook eggplant.
This was the haul for the last week:
