No, I’m not really complaining. I love having so many different kinds of produce on hand, and we’re having a great time experimenting with things that we’ve never cooked before. We’ve already made two new recipes tonight, which I’ll talk about more shortly. This week our vegetable share contents included:<\/p>\n

Squash – 1 1\/2 lbs
\nCucumber – 2 lbs
\nEggplant – 1 each
\nAsian Melon – 1 each
\nCarrots – 1 lb
\nNapa Cabbage – 1 each
\nTomato – 1 lb<\/p>\n

I combined the cucumbers from this week and the larger ones from last week to make Julia Child’s famous baked cucumbers recipe (I mistakenly said braised cucumbers earlier!). Definitely an interesting outcome, which I’ll be posting about soon. We also made a gorgeous ratatouille with some of the squash and the eggplant we got last week. Yet something else to post about!<\/p>\n

Fruit-wise, our share this week included:<\/p>\n

Peaches – 2 1\/2 lbs
\nApricots – 1 pint
\nPlums – 1 pint<\/p>\n

We got four decently sized peaches, but I don’t think it was 2 1\/2 lbs worth, so perhaps they changed it but I didn’t notice. Oh well, not a big deal. We have an insane amount of apricots and plums in our fridge, so I think we’ll be taking a bunch with us on vacation. I can take fruit if we’re flying domestically, right?<\/p>\n

Also, if anyone knows what an asian melon is, or how to cook it, please let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It’s week #9 of our CSA share, and we’re really starting to feel overwhelmed! Our fridge is absolutely jam packed with vegetables and fruits right now, and we’re scrambling to eat everything before they spoil. Not to mention we’re going away Friday for a long weekend, and when we come back next week, it’ll be […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[189],"tags":[231,244,206,234,235,245,243,230,205,236],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3727"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3727"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3732,"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3727\/revisions\/3732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twofatbellies.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
