Farm Food is More Fun

When Friday rolls around, the excitement begins.  No, it isn't a fancy restaurant, but a trip to the farm is so much better.  The thrill of discovery is real!  What will we pull from the baskets this time?  What is that thing?  I wonder how you fix it?

Upon returning home I start to plan when and how I am going to prepare each item.  I try to use everything.  Our guinea pigs are eager to help with leftover greens.   They have already devoured the tops I cut off the radishes this evening.

After putting everything away I washed the Jerusalem artichokes, chopped them, tossed them with fresh garlic and olive oil, sprinkled them with sea salt, and roasted them in the oven.  We had never had these before and were pleased with the taste - a little like a potato with a bit nuttier flavor.  

Now, what to use next...perhaps the mushrooms.  Aren't they cute?
