We bought a share of organic veggies and fruit from a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group based in Westfield which we share with another family because it’s a LOT of food.  Each week, we’ve shown you what we got.

Never tried celery root (or celeriac) before?  Me either!  Here’s what I’m going to make and bring to Thanksgiving:
