I've been ignoring my locally grown produce this week.
Concord grapes. Bok choy. Lots of carrots. Lots of celery... This week I have zero motivation to turn them into edible concoctions. I know the carrots and celery can just be eaten basically as is, however, that seems boring as well. There's only so much celery I can ingest. I gotta push through this lack of desire, I know, but I DON'T WANNA! That's right, I'm gonna be a toddler about it. NO! NO BOK CHOY! WHERE'S MY PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH ALREADY? THAT'S WHAT I WANT FOR DINNER FOLLOWED BY A BOWL OF CEREAL!
At a crossroads with the community supported agriculture. Do I really want to buy from this farming group every other week? At first I liked how I don't get a choice in what produce I get and, therefore, was being forced to cook new things. And now this week I don't want to have to figure out how to prepare foods I never buy. I mean come on, concord grapes?! You can't eat those things like other grapes! They have seeds in them and are tart as hell! So now I either let them go to waste or grudgingly haul my buns off to Bed Bath and Beyond in search of a cheese cloth and 12 qt pan to make juice. GRRRR....
Now where's my precious take out menus and bag of candy corn? I'm giving myself one more day of avoidance...

Keep it up Carla...the farmer's need you! Boil those grapes gently then strain out the seeds. Delicious juice...or ferment it and voila...vino, nectar of the Gods!
