Worlds largest napa cabbage

This was our bi-weekly CSA box contents:

apples
persimmons
carrots
broccoli
radishes
cauliflower
kale
cilantro
yams
chili peppers
tomatoes
napa cabbage

The napa cabbage is the largest I've seen. We will have to make two meals out of this. One of my co-workers gave me a recipe for a Cole slaw with toasted almonds, cabbage, dried cranberries and a home made ginger dressing. So I think I'll try that. I can shred some of the carrots to go into that as well.

For the second meal we'll probably steam the rest of the cabbage. I'm going to do some research and see if we can use the outer leaves and stalks for something. I'll let you know what I find out.

Doug won't eat the yams but I've got a couple of recipes and I'll try one for myself.

The radishes, broccoli, and cauliflower will go into a stir fry.

I'll buy some lettuce to use up those tomatoes.

The kale will go into a pasta dish we like.

Doug juiced the apples and persimmons along with a couple of carrots. He added that to the oranges, limes, lemons, apples, pears and celery we already had.

And I gave the cilantro and chili peppers to a co-worker who loves them.
