CSA

So, it's been over three years since I've written in this blog. Well, I just got the urge to write because I finally joined (well wrote the check to mail tomorrow) a CSA (community supported agriculture).

I was trying to figure out how to get food this semester since I teach until after closing at my co-op. Just by chance, I checked the CSA I have been stalking for some time and found that they now have a drop spot in my neighborhood, and it's on Thursday evenings when I am not teaching! I am soooooo excited.

I also made an arrangement with the closing manager of the co-op (who happens to be one of my besties) to hold my fruit share on Wednesday nights (I'll get there when they are about to walk out the door), so I'll be able to get fruit at the co-op. The veg is more delicate in many ways, and I like to pick quality leafies, so I am really happy with getting my fruit from the co-op and veg from the CSA.

The CSA is in Brenham, TX, which is about 80 miles from Houston. That's really very local in terms of TX.

I'm really excited about all the winter greens and squashes I'll be cooking up this season. What a thrill to eat seasonally!

What else has happened in the past three years, you ask (or don't). I graduated from my master's program in humane education. I am proud of that accomplishment and all I learned during the program, but I have since begun another program, which I might talk about in another post. The thing I find so difficult about life is settling on one interest. I just have so many, and there are so many things worth focusing on. I really love what I do (teaching English) and I really love humane education. Combining the two is possible, and I do it, but it isn't easy.

Anyhoo, I'll sign out. Things are great here in Houston. I am happy, still with the Valentine I mentioned in the previous post, and I can't complain because in the grand scheme of things, none of the things I deal with are significant in terms of what others have to face on a daily basis.
