Did you know...?

Today I went to the Union Square farmers' market and learned all about the stinkbug! I didn't go there looking to learn about the stinkbug, I just wanted an apple. So when I went to buy the apple, the farmer explained to me why they're covered in a powder. It's all because of the stinkbug. The only thing that the stinkbug doesn't like is this clay dust, so they spray it on their apples. But don't worry. It's all organic. I learned other fun things like stinkbugs have brown spots on their heads, beaks like a bird and they came from China in 1998.

I also learned how to make braised kale with raisons, although that was a totally different conversation.

On the menu this week: Carrot apple soup (with some hopefully awesome apples I'll get tomorrow when we go apple picking) and something with spaghetti squash. Should be interesting.
