This summer's challenge is to remove industrialized foods from my plate. I turn to our garden. I will eat only from the garden and meals can only be supplemented by local farmers' markets. Donations from family and friends' gardens accepted. I protest the modification of my food and bring it back to it's original form- real. It's gonna be a challenge. Let's see where it takes me.

Holy Radish Slaw.
Early this morning, getting on my bike, I realize that I hadn't done the early morning garden walk. So... walksie, walksie, and I see something funny. Wondering why my eggplant already bolted, as it is a late summer harvest, I was a little confused. I look down to take a better look and find the biggest radish ever hiding there. Turns out the leaf set wasn't eggplant at all. Whoops! Out it came to be followed by a smaller, more savory version of itself a few feet back. We documented the rad first harvest with some silly faces in honor of Stephanie Snyder and her history of chomping on a red radish and blowing the wind right outta her shortly right after. So, lunch was a delicious arugula, radish, snap pea onion salad in a balsamic vinegar sauce. Tonight, we make radish slaw for eating and adding to the other two dinners at the table. Super fun and super exciting harvesting.
