CSA Share Week 7 & 8

 

PLGCSA Week 7
Lettuce Head

Swiss Chard
Garlic
Basil
Peas
Dill

Fruit share:
More blueberries...I wanted raspberries. But then I got pretty addicted to frozen blueberries in my oatmeal and fresh blueberries in my ice cream, so...I guess it was a success.

PLGCSA Week 8
Salad greens
Garlic
Zucchini
Parsley
Basil
1 (!!!) Zucchini blossom, no idea what to do with just one, I guess it will be a tester ::shrug::
Cabbage—but I didn't take it after the failure I had with the previous week's cabbage (it's still in my fridge, disappointing me)

Fruit share:
Plums & Apricots


I tried to make Stuffed Cabbage on Monday night—two mistakes I made: I waited too late into the night to start cooking and the cabbage wasn't cooked long enough to "stuff."

I was pretty, meh, about last week's share. I'm more excited about this week. Tonight I'm making a zucchini fritatta (which won't require standing in my excessively hot kitchen for too long)! And I now have a game plan with my salad greens/lettuce—I eat it on the first night, so that it won't fall victim to disintegration, discoloration, or freezing. You can bring frozen lettuce back to life, but defrosted salad greens are questionable. FYI: my fridge sucks.

Wok.

I need a wok . . . as this week will be stir-fry week, I think. Though, the farmers did suggest making kimchi out of the napa cabbage in this week's veggie share. I'm not really a kimchi person. So a stir-fry should probably use up about half of my share, and then I can make some more delicious garlic scape pesto, and maybe a cheese and oregano fritatta with salad greens to make use of everything.

And all I can say about the dill is, ugh . . . more dill?!?! I think I might have to put it in the free bin. I don't know how much dill compound butter I'll be able to stand once it comes time to unfreeze it (compound butter can last in the freezer up to 2 months).

PLG CSA Week 4:

Woodbridge Farm Vegetables
Lettuce
salad greens
garlic scapes
napa cabbage
sugar snap peas
and herbs (dill and oregano most likely)
