It's Thursday around 6, which means it's time to run screaming from the horror that is... THE CSA BOX POST.

Too! Many! Fucking! Cucumbers!

I'm trying my best I've had salads. I've made soup (recipe for which will be soon). I've thrown one away and given one away. But the cucumbers keep coming.

OK, I think I'm done. After multiple visits to multiple Targets (for other reasons - I'm not that snack-chip crazed), I have determined that there are seven different flavors of the new thick-cut chips. Which is an odd number and an odd number, if you catch my drift, so possibly an eighth may appear in the future. But anyway, since I'm not touching Greek Inspired with my ten-foot pole, here are the last two.

HONEY BARBECUE RIBS:

This dish from last weekend was inspired by a comment from Nicole - basically sauteeing a bunch of fresh green vegetables from the farm box and tossing them with some pasta.

Oh, I will work my way through all of these flavors eventually, in the hopes of finding a good one. I picked up two more bags at Target today.

GENERAL TSO'S:

So I watched the first episode of Michael Symon's "Cook Like An Iron Chef" finally, and it was a very good show. Highly recommended. It's on The Cooking Channel, so it's just Michael Symon cooking.

The title will be funnier tomorrow morning for those of you who double-dip the Lambert goodness. Farm box!

First, as always, the discards:

• Broccoli: It was waning before Cathy went out of town. Afterwards, it waned.
• "Red Mustard": Not only did I not know what it was or how to use it, I also didn't know how to store it.
• Snap Peas: Just like ten of them, though - the ones from two weeks back that went a bit limp on me.

And now, the first week of produce I get to go through bachelor-style.

I have a couple of backlogged posts to work on about creative, fresh, original meals cooked with organic produce straight from the farm, but those posts will be delayed because there are new flavored chips on the shelves at Target.

And even more importantly, they're not very good.

I think farmed salmon was the first food that a change in labeling made me stop eating. Once they started having to label it "color added", I couldn't buy it. Even though I eat things full of dyes and artificial colors on a regular basis.

It's Thursday evening, which means it's time for the farm box update.

WASTE DUE TO WANTING NOT:

The lettuce from last week once again did not survive. This is my fault, because I didn't recognize how much water was in last week's lettuce, and didn't prep it accordingly. I also tossed about... 1/3 of the basil, again due to not monitoring moisture. Finally, the last of the Week 2 radishes finally met their trashy fate. Still not awful.

NEEDING TO BE USED:
