After four months of excellent produce...

we are temporarily suspending our CSA subscription. We enjoyed experimenting with the MA`O produce, and we were proud to support the farm and the youth leadership program. We will most definitely be buying individual MA`O products when and where we can (like at KCC or at Whole Foods). We just need to cut back on our household spending for a little while. We will re-up with MA`O as soon as possible!

In the meantime, each week we will now post about the "Weekly Weird Thing"-- one fruit or vegetable that we will pick up at the Chinatown markets, farmers markets, or Whole Foods. We will first identify what the thing is then experiment with how to prepare it. Stay tuned!

But as a temporary good-bye and thank you to MA`O, we are posting a top ten countdown of our favorite recipes made with MA`O Farms produce! Happy eating!
