We have also been thoroughly enjoying the bounty of our local farmshare, which we are splitting with a neighbor. The above is this week&#8217;s takeaway: farm fresh eggs, fresh pea shoots (which are\u00a0<em>amazing\u00a0<\/em>on top of a salad with baby greens and a vinaigrette), tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, Ozark Mountain mushrooms, fresh cilantro, and yogurt from a local creamery&#8230; oh, and chocolate. Yes, chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>It feels amazing to walk with the boys and the big double stroller to the church where the CSA distributes the food every other week, watch as Milo and Oliver help set up (they take tremendous pride in carrying or pushing coolers on wheels into the main room and passing them off to the adults), collect our share, and walk back, stopping by our neighbor&#8217;s house to drop off their half of the food. And then, it feels even more amazing to cook with all the goodies we have, knowing that it all came from good farms that are close-by, knowing that we are supporting the smaller family-owned farms that otherwise would not be able to compete against the bigger guys.\u00a0<a title=\"DSC_0013\" href=\"http:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8274\/8703732392_16d62b80f4.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8274\/8703732392_16d62b80f4_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0013\" \/><\/a>I hope you have a fantastic weekend.
