Radishes again!

I joined a CSA. I was a member of one downtown a few years ago and had looked for one up here, finally finding Cream of the Crop, formally Chubby Bunny. CSA stands for community supported agriculture which essentially means you buy a share in a farm and are delivered fresh vegetables. 

I had my first pick up yesterday and got kale, purple chives, garlic, romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, kohlrabi, savoy cabbage and radishes! Lots of them! 

The best part of a CSA is the Christmas like quality. Each week, you get a new batch of whatever is in season. I love trying new recipes and figuring out how to handle odd things like savoy cabbage and radishes. 

 I did a quick google and since its about a hundred degrees here in New York came up with a slaw. I found something by Martha Stewart, I know, who knew? I adapted a couple things based on what I had in the pantry and added a little honey, dropped the raisins because I don't care for them and added more radish to the recipe.

I always adapt recipes to my preference. I tend to work slowly to see how it tastes before following through to the next step. It worked out beautifully and now is chilling in the fridge.
