CSA 2010 - Week 15

Even yet still more avacadoes. Five of these went to a good home with a friend from work who claims to eat many a week. Since we are always struggling to find a use, it seemed like a good way to get rid of them. Granny smith apples don't cook very well (they get mushy) but these gala apples do. We made apple cake as well as double apple pork with them. Grapes

Lovely, delicious pears. We enjoyed the cardamom ginger pear butter that we made in the past, so we made another batch with these. So delicious. Plums Valencia oranges again. Some more.

Three gigantic beets with greens. We plan on making a gratin with these, and used the greens in a pasta. Green tomatoes for frying, along with a small heirloom one for normal consumption. Lettuce. Delicata squash is getting roasted for a pasta dish we love, which also has roasted red pepper and goat cheese. We always think of things to do with hot peppers and then totally forget what we had planned once we are making the dishes. We forget to sub it in for hot sauce, for flaked red pepper, along with cayenne pepper, etc. We're really becoming quite the specialists at forgetting our hot peppers exist.

This arugula went into a delicious risotto with sausage. Spinach Boc Choi is something we get rarely, but enjoy enough. We make a stir fry with it along with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. This cabbage got stuffed following a Barefoot Countessa recipe. It ended up being oddly sweet, but not a bad dish all around. Carrots A green bell pepper
