We are in week seven of our participation in a cooperative with a local farm; we pick up our veg every Monday, not knowing what we'll get! This week, our haul was:
- 3 onions
- 2 carrots
- 2 beets
- 2 large radishes
- a small head of lettuce
- a nice bunch of basil
- 2 yellow squash
- 14 - ! pickling cukes
- 5 tomatoes - 3 regular and 2 plum
- a head of broccoli
- 2 jalapenos and 2 little other hot-ish peppers
- 3 green bell peppers and 1 Italian frying pepper
- a sprig of dill
I think that's it! So, we've already used the lettuce. The basil is in the freezer. I made broccoli soup the other day and also used the carrots and squash. I gave half the cucumbers to a neighbor who has 3 house guests.
We find ourselves eating things we don't normally buy. Sugar snap peas, for example. Beets. I was getting weary of the way I was preparing beets, (steamed, with tarragon), so now I peel them, slice them thickly, steam them and cool them. Then, serve with a honey dijon type dressing. Much better!
We never eat hot peppers, but we're gonna try. It's a challenge!
