Bikey dreams

I got my first CSA box of the year today and was good and ate some vegetables. I took pictures and will probably be posting weekly vegetable pictures like last year, but not today.

I cooked some spring onions and asparagus until the onions were browned and deliciously sweet. mmm. That was the good part of dinner. I also cooked up a giant handful of kale (wait until you see the pictures of how much kale I have to eat in the next few days!) and enjoyed that much less, but seasoning salt makes most things (except for my truly disgusting crab pasta adventure from a few months ago) taste better. That part of dinner was virtuous. But not really tasty.

I also got a pint of strawberries and was sad to find they were much less tasty than the strawberries I'd picked myself last weekend.  However I overcame this disappointment and ate all the strawberries because they surely wouldn't start tasting better with time :)

I will stick with kale-sausage-pasta as a relatively tasty way to get myself to eat crazy amounts of the stuff.

I also went for a bike ride on the new hand-me-down bike and am thrilled to report that I am less slow on a road bike, but I am sad to say that the hand-me-down is really too tiny and hurts my arms in weird ways and makes my knees almost hit my arms in a clown-car-like fashion. So maybe I will get a more my-sized used road bike this summer. Or maybe I will just be tough on my extremely un-sporty looking toodling bike (aka hybrid)

Also also, it is officially summer. There were thunderstorms multiple evenings this week and it is almost 80 degrees and 75% humidity at 10:30pm. Gah.
