Charlotte- you are a part of a CSA too? Awesome! How long have you been doing it? Hemmingway sandwich sounds delicious!

Jihee- I never knew that about radishes! Good to know!

Silvett- Are you referring to pickled radish kimchi (ggak doo gee) or the kind that you get with fried chicken? Both of those are made with white radishes, which are slightly sweeter than the red kind!

Radishes, are not my thing,I must admit, but they add such vibrancy and texture to salads. I really like pickled radishes. I have had them with Korean BBQ. Are these the same types of radishes that are used to make those?

blech…i can’t imagine actual radish DISHES, or Ra-Dishes (haha). i only like them raw after i take a bite of burrito – to cleanse the palate until the next chomp of burrito…(like ginger after sushi).

I just got my CSA share yesterday! My favorite way to eat radishes: Slice them thin on top of toast that has been spread with goat cheese or hummus. Sprinkle chives on top to make it pretty.
I call it the Hemmingway sandwich!

Radish leaves are very edible! Amongst other things, you can make a very good pesto with them. You can also make soups and gratins with them.

Caged Songbird – I might have to attempt to change your mind

Ale- I’m sure of it! You just have to look for it! It really is awesome!

Yvo- They do look like sausages, don’t they!! hahaha. We will be lean, mean, vegetable gobbling machines ;D We kinda have to be, actually.

Glors – you can just place the paper towel in the bag! Who knew!?

do you wrap the lettuce w/ the wet paper towel? or just leave a wet paper towel in the bag?

I thought those were sausages in the 3rd pic… lol. So I think half a share is too much for me. Hahaha. I still have bok choi, half the red leaf lettuce (or rather, all of what I got), some radishes, and some turnips leftover… it doesn’t help that I don’t like some of the stuff that much, but I’m trying!

“say what?” haha, dude, I cracked up reading it. Man, the dish looks good. The girl I’m dating is pretty much vegetarian, so I’ve been trying to cook up veggie dishes. I might give this a try and score some points from her I wonder if Seattle has CSA… hmmm…
