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
  = 32#

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

I'm not surrealestate *waves*, but when my household had the Dogma box we liked it except for the turnips. If you like turnips you'll probably find it a nifty adventure in food!

I like turnips fine! I don't like lettuce, but will find something to do with it, or someone to give it to. :)

Have you ever tried cooking lettuce? Saute it in olive oil with shallots (added before) and maybe peas and/or mint (added last). It's interestingly different than raw lettuce, and takes the edge off the bitterness of many older varieties.

I've done this, and like it ok, and will probably do it again -- thank you for the reminder! It's still not super exciting for me, but maybe winter lettuces will be better.

You're totally welcome; this conversation reminded me, too!
