CSA Farm Share 2010: Week 7

[surrealestate]

So many veggies! The garden is coming along as well, though due to my late start, isn't quite fruiting yet. Which is fine -- there's still plenty of time. (Speaking of, who wants a hot pepper seedling?) Meanwhile, I've been cooking/prepping up a storm and have many meals in my fridge, including roasted roots, greens and peanut stew, cauliflower carrot puree, roasted string beans, shredded beets, carrots, and kohlrabi, marinated kale+, and non-harvest-related accessories such as rice and sauce.

What does this mean? It means I need people to come over and eat! Ess, ess, you're wasting away! (Dominion is not even required. ;) Also, given sufficient notice, if you tell me you're coming over with fresh tomatoes, I will bake focaccia to go with the bruschetta we shall make.

• 2 bunches Beets (w/ greens)
• 2 bunches Carrots (orange)
• 4 lbs Potatoes (by volume)
• 2 bunches Basil
• 2 bunches Red Russian Kale
• 2 bunches Spring Onions
• 3 lbs Summer Squash
• 2 bunches Celery
• 4 Cucumbers

  Total weight: 34 lbs

• 1 lb Summer Squash
• 1.5 lb Potatoes

Progress! Down to from a factor of just under four to a little under three. Still don't know what to do with all that darn squash, though. It's just not one of my favorite veggies.
