Greens!
I have been getting some greens off my garden in the city! I have frozen a couple pounds of turnip and radish greens and one pound of kale so far. I blanch, then dry somewhat, then vacuum pack and freeze. I have also picked some of the mustard greens and braised them with some sausage. The sausage I used was a bit strange and didn't really match the greens very well, but nonetheless, it was still pretty good. I had it for several meals. Katherine wouldn't eat it - she really didn't like that sausage flavor!
I picked some more radishes when I got back this past weekend and just cleaned them, sliced of the radish root fairly thin, and did a quick stir fry - wilting with olive oil and some salt. Was actually pretty good. Here are some pictures:
