Kohlrabi

     I grew up in a house that knew a little something about veggies.  We loved them.  We grew them in our own awesome little garden.  Summertime meant snacks of cherry tomatoes and grapes fresh from the vine.  Some people found it odd that we ate fennel and kale and the like but to us it was normal.  I've mentioned the CSA and I have been pleasantly surprised to have been introduced to some new things.  That being said...yesterday we picked up two kohlrabi...one green and one purple.  I have heard of them but have never eaten a single bite.  So today I trimmed it up and sliced it into matchsticks and we all dug in.  I brought out the tried and true olive oil and s&p mixture that is a fennel staple and it worked well with the crispy sticks.  Today they were a crunchy raw snack and I'm saving the other one for another cooking adventure.
