It was a hectic CSA Wednesday for me, as Josh is currently in Las Vegas and I had a softball game right after work so I had to run out and pick up our share during the day. It was really hot out and I was a sweaty mess by the time I got back to my office, but I didn’t want to take the chance that I wouldn’t get back from the game in time to get our veggies and fruit.<\/p>\n

This week our share did match what was sent in the email, and I was happy to see cucumbers on the list. Our vegetable contents this week included:<\/p>\n

Squash – 2 lbs
\nFava Beans – 1 lb
\nCarrots – 1 lb
\nCucumber – 3 lbs
\nEggplant – 1 each
\nGreens – 1\/2 lb
\nBeets – 3 each<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>

Cucumbers, fava beans, carrots, eggplant, kale, beets, squash<\/p><\/div>\n

The greens this week was kale once again, and I look forward to making more kale chips. I also plan on making ratatouille with the squash and eggplant, something that I’ve never tried before. And of course, braised cucumbers, because I want to see what all the fuss is about!<\/p>\n

We got lots of fruit this week as well, and our fridge is just bursting at the seams right now. We’ve actually found a great use for most of the plums we’ve been getting, making a really wonderful plum salsa that I’ll be posting about. This week our fruit share included:<\/p>\n

Shiro Plums – 1 1\/2 lbs
\nApricots – 1 quart
\nBlueberries – 2 pints<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>

Shiro plums, blueberries, apricots<\/p><\/div>\n

I don’t know the difference between Shiro plums and sugar plums, since they look very similar. Maybe they taste different? We’ll see. And two pints of blueberries doesn’t sound like a lot but I feel like we have an abundance of them right now. Josh wants me to bake a pie so maybe I’ll consider doing that, or just making a big batch of blueberry pancakes. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
