Mar Vista Farmer’s Market Wrap-Up 4-4-10

Today my shopper was Stephanie Astrow, a good friend whom I’ve known since we met in college, and she’s a customer of JR Organics’ CSA program. Each week she receives a bin full of a variety of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables and she and her whole family love it. She appreciates the variety because it’s then a bit of a challenge to decide what to make with what she’s been given each week, and she rises to the occasion. She also appreciates the ease of coming to the market and having her bin all ready for her to take. She’s giving us the recipe for her signature Crispy Kale: Rinse the kale, remove the stalks and coarsely chop the leaves. Toss them with olive oil and coarse salt and put them in the oven at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until crispy. Sounds really good — thanks, Stephanie! Today in the Green booth, the guests were Elise London, Louca Mee, Edward Anastas and Jen Baers from eBikeLikeMe.com, whose mission is to promote electric bikes as a way get from point A to point B faster, cleaner, cheaper and healthier.

  1. I considered Krispy Kale, but wondered what my Brown professors would have said, and thought, no. But if you want it known that way, it shall henceforth be called Krispy Kale in my house.
