I decided this week that I'd really like to post more about what we are cooking and eating, mostly so I can keep track of what was good and what wasn't and what I can do better next time. I also want to make notes of what Dylan liked and what he didn't (or what he didn't even touch).

The past couple of weeks have been more interesting though. We've had kohlrabi (for the first time ever), garlic tops, rainbow Swiss chard, baby kale, and english shelling peas. And last week in addition to the mint we got a large bunch of fresh basil.
