We are in our 5th of 15 weeks that we will be getting veggies grown and picked speccially for us by a local farmer. So far its been an adventure. The first week I had to google each item in the list of that week's produce and compare it to what I held in my hand. Sometimes I got it right - but leafy greens look a lot like leafy greens, so sometimes I didn't.
So I google my food, then google a recipe to cook it and most of the time (unless I mis-identified) the recipes were really good. I believe we will add bok choi and collard greens to our list of veggies-we-like-that-are-not-peas-and-corn. I'll get back to you on the kale - I ended up freezing it because all the recipes I found that looked yummy were for creamy potato soup and at 82 degrees with 75 percent humidity soup (particularly making it) sounds beyond horrible.
I am glad that as the season progresses we are getting more and more veggies that I recognize, like corn-on-the-cob. Mmmmmmm. Oh yes, and zucchini.

That IS an adventure! I'm very impressed with you! (But I am concerned that the people giving you the vegetables are not identifying them for you...interesting.) :)
Wow. For someone who things tomatoes are the consistency of goldfish it is brave of you to try new things. I can't wait to get in touch again and find out how this adventure began.
Look at you go! Those look really yummy, *when* I come to visit you will have to cook some yummy food stuffs for me!
Holy cow that is AWESOME! I have never ventured into the world of Bok Choi...and I am not entirely sure I would know what to do with it if I did!
These look beautiful! How awesome! Oprah has a kale recipe that is really easy I should throw up here. I'm so excited about your fresh veggies with you. I like Bok Choy a lot. I will look for a recipe with that for you, too!
