On Wednesdays we pick up the CSA share for the week. On Wednesdays I become infected with a strange desire to cook like a crazy person. It was only a couple of weeks ago that the 11 cubic foot freezer arrived and I’ve almost filled it. That is just nuts. Here’s what we got this week:



Leeks-1 bunch
Black Bell Eggplant -2
Lipstick Peppers-4
Lilac Peppers-2
Green Bell Peppers-2
Siberian Kale-1 bunch
Turnips w/ Greens-1 bunch
Summer Squash-6
Rosemary-1 bunch
Potatoes-1 quart or 2 pounds
Tomatoes-2

The fruit smelled so good, I was nibbling on the grapes before I even left the distribution area



Macintosh apples
Nectarines
Concord grapes

Last night I made pear butter with some pears I had from last week’s share, carmelized leek soup, potato leek soup and sauteed chard. It doesn’t sound like a lot but it was a good 4 hours worth of work.
