I would also like to welcome you to Food for Thought. This is the second year teaching this course.  Year 1 was enjoyable; I imagine year 2 will be just as much fun. I find the topic of choice fascinating because the more I read and discuss it, the more aware I am of the number of choices I make daily and the internal and external forces nudging me in different directions. 

My family belongs to a CSA and we love it, well my wife (Madge BMC ’81) and I do, not my kids.  I love it because you start eating and thinking about meals differently.  Instead of going out and buying food items for a specific dish, you have to find recipes for the food items (vegetables) you got that week.  This week we got something called purple peacock!  Heard of it?  Madge and I hadn’t.  Luckily, the farm (North Star Orchards) emails notes on the different vegetables and fruits, and sometimes recipes. So, I can tell you that purple peacock is a cross between broccoli and two different types of kale.  I will let you know how it tastes.
