the hungry bambino: this week's menu

this week's menu

By Sarah Friday, August 28, 2009

My husband and I are of two mindsets when it comes to summer weather: he likes it about 72 degrees, no humidity and sunny; I like it about 82 degrees, a little humidity (my hair looks better when there's some humidity) and sunny.

Well, he's been getting his wish this August. It's been relatively cool and not summer-like at all. But weather be damned! A little cold and rain is not going to stop me from eating like it's hot out! Here's our summer-loving CSA delivery and what we're noshing on this week.

In our CSA box:
Arugula
Broccoli
Curly Parsley
Garlic
Green Bell Pepper
