I have an abundance of potatoes from our CSA, and I happened to think hmm potato leek soup sounds good, right as I spotted you pic. I was so surprised to read that your potatoes came from Worden Farm too! Small world. We live in Naples. I have the same love-hate relationship as you have with the box. I love some of the food, and I love the challenge of cooking new foods, but sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the quantity! And then I have guilt over wasting food from the box. It's fun to relate to someone! I may make that banana cake recipe I spotted on your blog...Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056533228188049932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-38523984250834874662009-03-23T23:21:00.000-04:002009-03-23T23:21:00.000-04:00I was thinking about getting CSA as well but I tho...I was thinking about getting CSA as well but I thought that I'd feel the same way you did.

All lovely, but not the same experience as walking the market, getting inspired, taking the produce home and turning it into something amazing. We just received the renewal form for the CSA in the mail...we are going to pass and head back to the market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-35096831448787058732009-03-18T11:46:00.000-04:002009-03-18T11:46:00.000-04:00This looks like a yummy recipe -- potato leek is o...This looks like a yummy recipe -- potato leek is one of our faves! On the CSA box -- I've been doing my research around here and have hesitated each time for the exact reasons you mention.

And picked up leeks from my farmer's market (our potato lady wasn't there on Saturday) and made the soup on Saturday. Such a great soup.<BR/><BR/>An idea for a "topper" is to cut a 4" piece of a leek, and then slice the leek in half lengthwise, and then cut into thin slivers -- with the grain -- and then fry quickly in some oil. They crisp up nicely and look great as "shoestring" leeks on the soup and give it a great crunch and caramelized flavor.<BR/><BR/>Love the blog!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337509020110008690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-60850382836705971022009-03-16T16:22:00.000-04:002009-03-16T16:22:00.000-04:00Very nice photo!I made this dish over the weekend ...Very nice photo!<BR/><BR/>I made this dish over the weekend again, it is always so satisfying (and easy).

We have a company that delivers something similar to a CSA box but you get to choose what you want, plus you can add local dairy products as well such as cheeses and yogurts. It saves trying to source these things down yourself. Of course in the middle of the winter as it is now there are no local products besides dairy available.Valerie Harrison (bellini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205920305666658534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-78084342273641842712009-03-16T08:13:00.000-04:002009-03-16T08:13:00.000-04:00I love potato soup!
