This Veggie Post Does Not Include Any Actual Veggies, But IS Full of Excuses!

I'm a total veggie loser this week. I've been dreading this post all week long, knowing - every time I stood at my fridge, admiring all the green goodness, then promptly closing said fridge and running out of the kitchen - that there was going to be no wholesome cooking on my part.

This week's share of local veggies included carrots, beets, green beans, an Asian mix (like a salad mix), and something called "braising mix," which I swear I've never heard of and have avoided using it in part because I was a little scared of it. I meant to take a picture of it to show you (as well as the carrots, which are adorable and small), but I didn't get around to it. This braising mix is a jumble of green leafy things and what looks like daisies. Thanks to KH, I now know what to do with them, though, and I'm going to give it a shot tonight.

So, my many excuses why I flaked this week:

* I'm moving tomorrow, and my week has been consumed with packing.

* We kinda packed the kitchen up.

* So we've been eating cereal and bagels all week.

* I have a lot of stuff (move, money, move, work, move, money) swirling in my head, which only makes me want to curl up on the couch in the fetal position and watch E!

* My current kitchen has a way of sucking any culinary inspiration out of me, mainly because it's a crap-ass kitchen.

* Thank goodness the kitchen doesn't move with us.

* Because I'd be really pissed if it.

So, next week will include a lot of cooking, or else all the green things in my fridge are going to attack us. Stay tuned for Adventures in the New Kitchen with Veggies We Never Eat and are a Little Perplexed By.

Last week's adventure.

Rebecca's adventure.

    Plus, you have a young baby! That alone will derail cooking. I know. [At my house, though, I now have a 4-year old helper-guess who scrubs the veggies!]
