Rhubarb this week! And more radishes!!! Benedicta was volunteering at the distribution today so we calculated our desires before she went over. The bounty this week included four heads of lettuce - all different varieties, three with red leaves - chinese cabbage, garlic scapes, sage and the radishes and rhubarb. Since I'm making a pie, we decided to trade a lettuce for rhubarb and we contemplated exchanging the sage for anything else.
Since Benedicta was there monitoring the boxes, she kept a special eye out on the exchange box. Evidently radishes have not caught on in popularity since last week. Countless bunches were discarded awaiting more discerning palates. So now we have two radish bunches and one less lettuce head.
Next the rhubarb. Our quota only included a few stalks. What to do? Trade in one more head of lettuce! Rhubarb was a hotter commodity than the radishes. So with a watchful eye, Benedicta strategically snatched up the one that had been put in at the very beginning as a teaser. Voila! She could then carry on her volunteering without stalking the exchange box.
And what about that sage? Well, we're stuck with it. The distribution master made a decree: there will be no trading in your sage. You must all eat sage. Fortunately, the more experienced members have recipes for sage. We'll be sauteeing it with vegan butter and tossing it over some angel hair pasta. That sounds easy. Maybe Benedicta will even make it herself.
