12.16.08Cheap Ass Monday: I have squash out the yin-yang.And I don't mean in the gross way, like with the carrot; I've learned my lesson there.* No, the final delivery of the 2008 CSA is the root-vegetables-to-last-you-through-the-coming-nuclear-winter delivery.

The Horse and Pony Jamboree was a hell of a lot of fun to watch, but, as you may have gleaned, there was not a lot of finished food produced. It fell to the old guard to produce actual, nourishing food that would keep us sated for more than 15 minutes.
