CSA Farm Share 2013: Week 19

[surrealestate]

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.

• 2 bunches Beets (+Greens)
• 2 bunches Carrots
• 2 bunches Leeks
• 2 bunches Radishes
• 2 bunches Russian Kale
• 20 assorted (mostly I took St Nick) Peppers
• 2 Butternut Squash
• 6 lbs Cameo Apples

[Up-to-the-minute squash count: 8]

VitaMix, of course! :)

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.

I need to try this! (Vitamix for the win!)

Also: Are you going to do a wintershare!? The waltham fields winter share is rather nice, at least on paper.
