Oh no, I am behind! Here is a quick recap of what I received last week and what I just picked up (15 minutes ago) this week:
- New red potatoes
- White cucumbers
- Broccoli
- Curly endive
- Garlic scapes
- Red chard
- Strawberry jam
- Blueberries
I quickly used the red chard in a pasta dish with butter and lemon (of course I overdid the lemon, and I actually do not like chard). Both the scapes and the broccoli were used in stir fries. I have eaten one white cucumber just to try it, and I am accumulating potatoes (week 6 also included new reds). The endive, predictably, did not get eaten.
This week, my delivery is once again ridiculously robust. I am doing my best to give away a few of the items:
- Green romaine lettuce
- Broccoli
Cauliflower (swapped for fennel)- White cucumbers
- Collard greens
- Pea tendrils
- Red beets
- Yellow squash
- Cilantro
- Blueberries
- Sour cherries
Hopefully I can find takers for the lettuce, broccoli, and maybe the cucumbers. I do not normally cook or eat collard greens, but these ones looked really good. I am probably going to freeze the blueberries with last week's pint. And I have no idea what I am going to do with the sour cherries -- baking them, or maybe some sort of compote or sauce to go with duck or those beef short ribs I have in the freezer. I am looking forward to trying the beets (I like beets, but never cook with them) and the squash.
