CSA Farm Share 2010: Week 9

[surrealestate]

Back to a huge differential this week. Granted, there was the corn (and omg, such good corn! More on that shortly), but even assuming the corn weighed 20 lbs, not counting it would still leave a factor of three. And besides, I *like* corn. Yesterday I used much of it in my Chipotle Corn Soup, which I recommend highly. Of course, this time I had the advantage of using my magical machine (aka the VitaMix), so I was able to make it silky smooth *without* pushing it through a sieve. I also added a couple of boiled new potatoes after realizing I had dropped in way too much adobo. (Then I ate the other few potatoes I'd cooked plain. Damn, those are good potatoes!)

The soup was heavenly. I had one big bowl with a few tortilla chips crumbled in and froze the rest. Hopefully there will be more corn and I can make more.

And speaking of tomatoes, I amused myself by commenting here and I suspect some of you will be amused as well. Special props to ayelle, whose response made me lol. And run screaming.

Last week, you posted about getting corn from Red Fire and I felt dumb for having not noticed it was there. This week, you are posting about not getting corn from Red Fire, and I totally got corn from Red Fire. I think one of us is getting a mirror-universe farmshare... :) :)
