Strawberries... and more greens.
So last week was our first week on the farmshare. It was fun. We made a strawberry rhubarb tart in the toaster oven (long story) and had greens in nearly everything. The salads tasted very good. The beets are still sitting in the crisper… much longer and we may have worm food.
What’s in store for us this week? More greens. The best looking red leaf lettuce we’ve ever seen. Spinach. Strawberries. The strawberries didn’t make it one night. They were like candy. Fava beans…. lots of fava beans. Kale. Spring garlic. And one stalk of rhubarb (for an even smaller tart this week).
The stove is fixed. Enough said about that…
What am I going to do with those fava beans…

If Pleasants and Moses don’t pull through, this is what I’d like to see:
1. The parking lot south of the Elks built to broadway street level – parking plus you could get someone to build ontop of it to add more shops to Broadway.
2. Keep the lot north of theElks as empty. Pleasants and Moses will eventually be able to build on it—if ever this economy turns around.
3. Stay on track for the Elks re-do and help McMenamins buy the Old City Hall so they can put their hotel in it.

I hope the McMenamins folks are reading Jesse’s suggestions — Putting a hotel in OCH actually seems like it might be feasible!

I wrote and then called McMenamins about it. They said they have a lot on their plate and they are committed to the Grace Pleasants / Rick Moses project and didn’t say much else. I told them about the dire situation OCH is in and they could probably get it for super cheap right now AND it’s completely empty.
