You'd think ziti wouldn't be difficult to find in any old grocery store, but you'd be wrong. We stopped at two different places and neither carried ziti. It boggles the mind. We substituted rigatoni for the ziti instead, since it has a similar size and shape, and everything turned out fine.

The Vietnamese kohlrabi salad was born out of a desire to find a use for a few bulbs of kohlrabi we had received in a previous CSA box. It was eye-wateringly spicy but extremely flavorful.
