• 8 Cortland Apples
• 4 lbs Kennebec potatoes
• 6 Heirloom (Ailsa Craig) Spanish Onions
• 2 bunches Swiss Chard
• 4 Zucchini
• 2 Buttercup Squash
• 6 lbs Tomatoes
• 2 bunches Cilantro (except DD forgot to get this)
  = 38 lbs

+ And our bread from the bread share

And from neighbors who couldn't use their whole farm shares:
+ 3 Asian Eggplant
+ 1 giant Zucchini
+ A sizable bag of Carrots
+ 1 bunch Parsley
+ 4 Sweet Potatoes

This week, I made some of the best bruschetta ever. I don't know why it was so good -- my process was the same as always -- but maybe the tomatoes were extra great? I'd also had them in the fridge for a few days (now that Kenji has convinced me that's okay, and it does keep them good longer) and I don't know if that somehow improved the flavor? Who knows. But dayum, that was good. DD even did a quick run with the jogging stroller out to get more bread just so we'd be able to have more of it right away.

• 12 ears Corn
• 2 bunches Japanese Turnips (+greens)
• 2 heads Cabbage
• 2 lbs Zucchini
• 2 bunches Mizuna
• 6 Bell Peppers
• 2 Eggplant
• 6 lbs Tomatoes
  =38#

I also picked up a friend's share from a different farm, traded some of what I got with someone else from a third farm, and between everything was a bit overwhelmed. But the total variety was amazing and I cooked a ton of Indian food this week (thank you Manjula!) including one night of chola (chana masala) with spinach, aloo masala with cabbage, green beans and peas (subji), and baingan bharta. Then the next night there were leftovers of the latter two along with new batches of the first two (except with chard), as well as rava dosa. Nom nom nom.

The weekend before that was (among other things) the Jimmy Fund Walk (which was great and perhaps next year I'll be more on the ball about making a team ) and another food swap. This time I brought corn salsa and cranberry sauce as well as more strawberry balsamic jam. I came home with (picture behind the cut) chocolate cherry peanut butter, peach crystalized ginger jam, pumpkin butter, boba's granola (and more of it behind), green tomato and husk cherry chutney, preserved lemons, whole grain mustard, and raspberry jam.
