We've deciphered most of the vegetables we got this week. Some were a little tougher to identify than others, especially, the kohlrabi. I really thought it was a turnip. It's not. It's a member of the cabbage family (just like our friend broccoli). I think we have a bunch of mustard greens too. I have no idea how to cook them, though I did find a ton of recipes for mustard greens with ham hocks. "Bob," regrettably, does not really like ham (specifically, smoked versions). I found just a single recipe for mustard greens with beef; we'll be making it tomorrow.
There will also be lots of salads this week. The two heads of lettuce (red leaf and Forellenschluss romaine) are absolutely gorgeous, and they're humongous. I've never seen lettuce this large at the supermarket.
