CSA Farm Share 2012: Week 7

[surrealestate]

• 2 bunches Basil
• 6 Cucumbers (of unusual size)
• 2 bunches Beets (+greens)
• 2 bunches Red Spring Onions
• 2 heads Cabbage
• 2 bunches Mizuna
• 2 lbs New Red Potatoes
• 2 lbs Summer Squash

For the record, this is what my farmer calls a disappointing share. No, I don't know, either. But he says he'll make it up to us with peaches next week, so I'm not gonna argue. I think he feels guilty that tomatoes aren't in yet.

Yesterday's mini flurry of prep included kale spa day (aka massaged kale salad *eyeroll*) which included last week's kale and some of this week's red onions, vindaloo curry, which included last week's cauliflower and this week's potatoes, and washed&froze beet greens for breakfast smoothies.

An appealing (to me) preparation of mizuna continues to elude me, however, and rather than experiment with these lovely bunches, I would be happy to trade them for something else. Anyone interested? It's pretty and a delicacy, but apparently not to my tastes just yet.
