(also known as friday adventures in procrastination.)
this was our first week as members of the farm fresh to you delivery service. it's a pretty non-traditional CSA, in that (1) it's pay-as-you-go as opposed to a big buy-in at the beginning; (2) it combines food from the capay organic farm with food from other organic producers in order to get a slightly 'less seasonal' (read: more oranges, less cabbage) mix; and (3) it comes straight to our door.
we are so, so spoiled. a big ol' box for $29 a week!
so far this week, we've eaten through all our mandarins, oranges and apples; made a stir fry based on the baby bok choy; done a great salad of napa cabbage, apples, shredded carrots, toasted pecans and vinaigrette-y stuff; and boiled up a large and wonderful potato-leek soup. still left from the box: a large bulb of fennel, some dino kale, and some lettuce, which are all, by hook or by crook, getting used tonight.
because tomorrow is pie-giving! this is an annual event hosted by fabulous friends who now live driveably close. our household is bringing a mince pie and a vegetable pot pie with a biscuit top, both brand new adventures for us. YAY OH YAY.

by day a political scientist! by night a significantly less intellectually responsible political scientist!

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
