So the next lesson in mysteries is that sometimes you have to look outside your borders to find adventure ….
My challenge in maintaining this even into the third installment of the series is that I didn’t find much a mystery in my CSA share this past go-round. Most of the usual suspects emerged in my ‘basket’ — and looking at them, I didn’t think I could fairly be true to the intent of this series by focusing on chard this week … though I know for many it may well be a mystery what to do with chard that makes it taste ‘good.’ The truth is, I love the taste of chard and so will be eating it tonight as I re-experience one of my successes of last year: Farfalloni with Grilled Chicken and Swiss Chard. Check it out if you’re looking for ideas.
Instead, this week, I looked for a mystery closer to hand: a plant growing in my own garden. After all, it’s pretty close to be community supported agriculture as the stuff I buy and it doesn’t get more local or organic that my yard. And, yes, I do know what I planted there, so it isn’t a mystery to me: the question is, do you what this plant is? I’ve given you a few angles to make it more fair …. Don’t get distracted by the tomato plants in the background or the thyme in the foreground.
See you back here in a few days for the big reveal (here).
I would love to read your comments ....
