Keeping your food fresh!
Being a part of a CSA means you are going to get a lot of fresh food all at once, but you can't eat it all right then - you've got to spread it out over the week and you will be very sad if your asparagus goes limp! Here are a few useful links I've found about storing vegetables and keeping things fresh:

I'm also going to buy a salad spinner for this year since everything usually keeps better and prepares better when dry and it is hard to dry lettuce without one. I've also thought about getting some of the reusable vegetable storage bags. I don't know too much about them, but they don't cost much so it might be worth trying at least once.
