i cooked collard greens last night. it was very exciting.
new-flatmate ben and i strolled up to Isham Park yesterday to receive the season's first harvest of farm-fresh vegetables from the Inwood CSA. each tuesday, the CSA -- that stands for "community-supported agriculture" -- distributes "shares" of the harvest from Little Seed Gardens, near Albany, to happy Inwood city-dwellers like myself. this week's share consisted of salad greens, lettuce, bok choi, turnips, cilantro, collard greens, and a few other green things that i can't longer identify (probably should've taken notes at the pick-up site).
now that i'm thinking globally, eating locally (hee hee), i won't have guilty Fast Food Nation-inspired visions of agribiz megafarms when I eat -- instead, smiling farmers and free-range cabbage roaming the pasture. and damn tasty collard greens.
procrastinating even in moviegoing, saw the last showing of the last night of Control Room at the Film Forum. it was rockin'. now it's moved to lots more theatres so you should see it.
got a new phone finally. it's wholly unremarkable (free) except that it's a 212 number. whee
