We used up the last of our CSA stuff this week, just in time! We're leaving for a 9 day road trip tomorrow, so we'll miss 2 weeks of CSA orders. We're donating this week's since it seems everyone's out of town, and friends will pick up next week's and hopefully enjoy it :)

So, this meal was kind of random, but ended up being really good. We had some beet greens and baby turnips (and greens) and a handful of mizuna left from the basket, so Leah sauteed them with some garlic, spring onions and butter. We poached a chicken breast in some chicken broth infused with coconut, curry, garlic and coriander (it's a soup base called College Inn Thai Coconut Curry Culinary Broth) and a can of coconut milk. We cooked some rice in the same mixture and both chicken and rice ended up having just a mild coconut flavor, which was nice. Leah made up a sauce of lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and grated garlic and that was AWESOME on the chicken and rice in the lettuce wraps. It would have just been "ok" with it, but with it, I just wanted to keep eating and eating! The greens and turnips also were very tasty!

We're leaving for California in the morning, so the CSA Challenge is on hiatus for 2 weeks, but expect lots of pics of the trip instead!
