I would just so eat that. With the exception of the collard greens, which should probably be steamed a long time to get them tender enough to enjoy, the rest in any combination would be perfectly fine to just eat. Or have I been roughing it too long? :D Recipes? I would just so eat that.

This makes a great addition to tea or a great tea all by itself. Congrats on joining a CSA - the more the merrier. Lindy It’s possible the “lemony plant” is Lemon Balm (looks like it from the pic.).

The quinoa stew sounds good. I made some <a href="http://28cooks.blogspot.com/2008/02/kale-chips-ive-been-seeing-recipes-for.html" target="_blank">kale chips</a> earlier this week, and they were very tasty. And tonight I sauted the collard greens (they were label as such) and they turned out pretty good. Good luck fighting off the earwigs. </p><p>Tim  </p> Thanks, Pica. The quinoa stew sounds good.
