CSA Farm Share 2013: Week 13

So much stuff! I made and canned a bunch of corn salsa, since pretty much all the ingredients were in the share. (Last week's summer squash turned into relish and some of the beans into dilly beans. Yay for canning!) Of course more bruschetta. Haven't decided about the tomatillos yet.

Meanwhile (also using last week's), I made another triple batch of Zucchini Basil Soup (that stuff just hasn't stopped being awesome), but decided to do something different with the rest and made Zucchini Pasta with an improvised nummy sauce. No grain here, these noodles are just julienned zucchini, but somehow it turns out delicious. All raw, too. I brought it to the Hav for the Yom Kippur break-fast and it disappeared pretty quickly. Shockingly, I actually want more zucchini.

  • 6 lbs Tomatoes
  • 4 lbs Peaches
  • 2 lbs Turnips
  • 2 pints Tomatillos
  • 4 Zucchini
  • 6 Cucumbers
  • 16 ears Corn
  • 8 Assorted Peppers

Mmmmm. I love zucchini, and wish I knew people with an overabundance who'd be willing to share with me! *laughs*

It may not seem like I'm getting that much in the share, but each one is about two pounds. These are hefty f'in zukes! (I could opt for smaller ones, but I don't taste the difference, so I go for volume.)

It's such a stereotype of gardens overflowing with zucchini. I bet if you're loud enough about it, you'll find someone who needs to offload a bunch. :)

Hmmm...guess my comment did not go through. Do you have a link for the soup recipe? Would you be willing to share the recipe for the pasta?
