dancerjodiLast night was good.
Our farm share yielded some lettuce, beets, green onions, carrots, marjoram, basil, parsley, snap peas and fresh cut flowers. We were welcome to scavenge for remaining strawberries and some new fava beans (CLARICE!) but decided that we were strawberried out, and would wait till next week when the favas would be more accessible. They gave us information on a fruit share that Brian and I seemed to think was a good idea. I'm willing to split it with the Di's if they are interested :)
Burritos were heavenly as was chai and conversation. I FINISHED NEPHEW'S HARRY POTTER SCARF! I'll stop after work to get him something to go along with it (his birthday is next Thursday, but the dinner is Wednesday). My plan for the next knitting project is continuing to read Stitch and Bitch and choosing the next simple project from there. Mayhaps I'll start working on Xmas gifts, because it’s taking me a long time to get through things.
Dinner with friends and Man Ray http://www.latexlilly.com tonight. Trooping with the 501st at http://www.nhfishercats.com/ on Saturday (we'll miss Geoff's cookout, again). Sunday I'm hoping to head north http://www.vtrenfest.com/ with the hubby (and no, you can't come with us - its a date). :)

Can I just say I totally want a harry potter scarf?! That is so cool that you made one for him. Do you have pics? I wish I could sew and stuff, but the most I do is cross stitch. And that's enough to drive you mad. It's like pointalism or something. :) But it is fun.

The Scarf was knit (not sewn), just alternating stripes about 2.5" wide in the Gryffindor colors. I made Brian a similar Slytherin scarf (my first knitting project).

Date: 2005-07-08 05:48 pm (UTC)Google gave me this list of CSA programs in MA: http://www.nofamass.org/programs/csa.php
A friend found the one we're using in Waltham http://www.communityfarms.org/ (we picked that over another option, out of convenience). I'm sure they are all different, but ours covered food for a family of 4 (hence, the other couple asked if we wanted to split it). I'm sure prices, the way it works, etc all differ depending on the farm.
So far I'm liking it. Someone also mentioned http://www.bostonorganics.com/ as a similar option (though, you don't actually own a share of a farm, and you're not contributing to a local community).
