On my way to a yoga workshop early Sunday morning, a stranger called out, “I love you!” as I passed. (This was after he asked for some change, but he already knew I didn’t have any. I don’t take any compliments for granted, OK?) Then another guy said, “Hello, beautiful!” as I walked by. What was going on? Is everyone in the East Village this friendly at 7:45 am? Then I remembered a study I’d recently written about. Researchers found that eating fruits and vegetables makes you better-looking.
That’s right. Our Red Hook CSA shares are probably making us all even more attractive. That’s even more reason to make my favorite roasted carrots recipe from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, 1999). Plus, this preparation uses dill, which you may still have from a previous CSA share, or parsley. —Josie Rubio

The summer heat and humidity is slowly encroaching. And with it, the market shares are slowly shifting away from the days of leafy, leafy greens, and more toward the bounty of the summer harvest. Now, we are not there yet. But that’s nothing to be remorseful of either, because it is during these early summer days when a cool summer salad helps beat the heat on a balmy night such tonight as I sit here writing this post.
