Sunchoke Update

I was going to write that the "filthy, loathsome, stinking wind" from eating sunchokes wasn't an issue for my family until I spent the evening with us. Huh.

Sunchokes sliced and eaten raw taste like spring. Like tulip leaves or lilac blossoms covered in earth. They take some getting used to, but they are familiar somehow. I am anxious to see how they will taste when cooked. You can mash or roast them in olive oil. They're a tuber, so you treat them as you would a potato, I guess.

But after last evening, I am a little scared to try...

I am full of fresh, organic vegetables and my body is humming, full of energy and good things. This CSA thing may turn out to be a-okay.
