You get some really interesting veg with Local Roots! This week in our CSA we got some Kohlrabi, which was a challenge. I ended up cold pickling it. I was all set to conquer kale, but it was a little too wormy for my taste.

Wormy? Oh no! Cabbage is my least favorite vegetable to get. There's so MUCH of it. ;)
