Speaking of Vegetables

We have a CSA membership this year with a local organic farmer. That means that we pay up front for weekly deliveries of veggies that last from mid-May to Thanksgiving. The veggies that we get are nothing short of gorgeous. They are just the most perfect, fresh, beautiful veggies I've seen.
Plus, the pickup is in the church courtyard which adds to the beauty.


This bounty added to our blossoming garden means we have lots and lots of vegetables. So many, in fact, that we have to eat them at every meal and in between so they aren't lost. I've come up with a great idea for the excess that we have. Last night I took most of the extra veggies and cooked them with a bouillon cube and some water until they were all tender. Then I pureed the mix in the food processor and voila! Instant veggie goo. No, it's actually really good. I used carrots, celery, cauliflower (all left over from camping), green garlic, and some spinach leaves. I didn't use any fat in it so there was no weird separation as it sits in the fridge. It's really good cold with some fresh cream mixed in. And, it is easy to eat and an easy way to get rid of the extra veggies.
