2008 CSA Week 9
Eleven.
I picked eleven pounds of cucumber from my garden last night. My refrigerator is a wee bit ridiculous right now.
Here’s what we got in the share yesterday.
Cucumbers-2
Orient Express Eggplant-2
*Walla Walla Onions-2
Sun Gold Cherry Tomatoes-1 basket
Slicing Tomatoes-1 1/2 pounds
Gold Beets-1 bunch
Lilac Peppers-2
Cilantro-1 bunch
*Fennel-1 head
Summer Squash-2 pounds
Someone had put their onions in the swap box so I swapped out my fennel. Excellent trade in my book.
peaches
nectarines
donut peaches
shiro plums
Last night I made chocolate chip zucchini bread with the zucchini. I made four mini loaves and two of them are definitely prettier than the other. I was not in a great mood. The kitchen was hot, it was late, and I should have been paying more attention. I tested one loaf and when it was done I pulled all the loaves out. The others could have used a few more minutes but it was too late by the time I noticed. Totally careless mistake.
For dinner we had chopped tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, Maldon salt (it’s large and crispy), a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh ground pepper. Delicious.
