Lettuce
Green onions
Turnips
Cabbage
Swiss chard

update, FINALLY?!

Well I've been on hiatus from the blog-and life in general-to teach entomology to at Monmouth's College for Kids program. The kids just suck the energy out of me. :) Anyway, here's what you get this week:

Romaine lettuce
Green onions
Peas
Sugar snap peas
New potatoes
Kohlrabi
Parsley sprigs
Lemon basil

Kohlrabi...it's just so...weird looking.

AND, here's an excellent recipe for kohlrabi that my husband and I tried last night. We really loved it.

Ingredients

• 4 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Cut the kohlrabi into 1/4 inch thick slices, then cut each of the slices in half. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss kohlrabi slices in the olive oil mixture to coat. Spread kohlrabi in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in order to brown evenly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven to allow the Parmesan cheese to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
