CSA Farm Share 2009: Week 18

[surrealestate]

As always, I sigh at the transition to fall crops and the coming winter. I refuse to even think about the clocks changing.

• 1 bunch arugula
• 1 bunch beets
• 1 bunch turnips
• 1 bunch mustard greens
• 3 green peppers
• 1 lb parsnips
• 1 bunch celery
• 1 bunch radishes
• 1 bunch fennel
  --
• 2.5 lb green peppers
• 1 bunch kale
• 1 bunch dill
• 3 oz baby greens
• 1 butternut squash
• 1 delicata squash
• 1 bunch edamame
• 1 lb onions
• 1.2 lb turnips
  --
• 1/2 peck apples

Being helpful over the weekend also yielded some extras including mushrooms, beets, lettuce, and more, and I bought a half-bushel of apple "seconds" as well.

Dried: apples, more apples, cilantro, dill, mushrooms, potatoes (specifically, raw purple potato chips!)
Fermented: sauerruben (with star-shaped slices for fun and one beet for color)
Froze: arugula pesto
Canned: applesauce

I also went to the Topsfield Fair with Mare, Jay, and DD. We had a great time and there are some fun pics. Back home, I made a list of all the food the four of us ate there. For the record, we were there for a while...

• bloomin' onion
• chocolate-covered banana
• coffee
• corn dog
• corn on the cob
• fried dough
• fudge (peanut butter, chocolate)
• funnel cake
• german fries
• hot and cold apple cider
• hot dog
• maple cream cone
• pickle
• pizza
• strawberry shortcake w/ ice cream
• sweet potato fries
• tempura veggies

Ooh, and the peanut butter/chocolate fudge that Jay and I had! I think it was the 1st purchase of the day. And Jay's sour pickle!
