Still in denial about the end of farm share season. And also reminded that I never got the radishes to
beowabbit but I will get them to you tomorrow!

I made pumpkin soup, roasted acorn squash for eating and for pizza, caramelized fennel that also went on pizza, a great apple crisp that also used the almond gunk leftover from making almond milk, and I can't remember what else. This will definitely be a soup week -- lentil vegetable is in progress right now.

Date: 2013-10-29 06:35 pm (UTC)I soak about a cup of raw almonds ~8-24+ hours, then rinse and put them in the VM with a couple of pinches of salt and one pitted date. Then I fill to the max line (just over 64oz) with water and run it for a minute or so. Strain through a nut-milk bag (heheh) and tada!
Though I actually use a jelly bag to strain because DD doesn't like his milk even a little bit grainy.

Date: 2013-10-30 10:17 pm (UTC)This was before the Dogma box, but I imagine that in winter, it would feel either too same-y week on week, or I'd roll my eyes at the "as local as we could" parts.
But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be great for someone else. We also live a short walk to the Winter Market, which makes for a nice Saturday morning activity. Plus I have so much put by from harvest season that I enjoy the opportunity to use it.
I have considered a small fruit box for deep winter just to ensure decent fruit variety.
