In this week’s CSA box:
- 1/2 dozen eggs
- shiitake mushrooms
- oregano
- summer squash of various kinds (one round yellow, one elongated yellow, one zucchini)
- 2 cucumbers
- small bunch of tiny beets
- small bunch of tiny turnips (it’s been a bad year for turnips, we’re told)
- green onions
- lovely head of ruffly green lettuce
One cucumber and some of the green onions have already gone into a version of last night’s pseudo-Vietnamese noodle salad that let me use up some peapods, and didn’t have any pea shoots or peppers, because I was just too tired and it was too late to go to the store.
The summer squash is almost certain to end up in vegetable marinara sauce, unless somebody has a better idea. The root portion of the beets and turnips together comprise about a handful, so I’ll have to combine them with something (probably carrots) and I have given up on using the greens. They just look a little too buggy, and will therefore go to compost.
As for the rest…well, I’ll figure something out.
