Turnips, Radishes, Lettuce, and Greens

Tonight's dinner included

• Turnips, radishes, and bell peppers tossed with olive oil and seasonings and cooked on the grill.  (We need to get more practice with grilling veggies!)
• Turnip greens and rest of braising mix cooked similar to sweet & savory kale recipe (also on our burner on the grill)
• Lettuce and remaining arugula made a great salad.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow's CSA share will bring!  Hopefully plenty of grill-friendly foods as we haven't turned on our AC in the house yet.  Mike and I both recently read No Impact Man and thought some of it was pretty interesting so we are going to try the No Impact Experiment next week.  A documentary about their year is also available and is streaming on Netflix. While we aren't going to cut the electricity off completely, we decided we would leave the AC off next week and didn't want to get used to it this week only to turn it off.
