Week 13

Week 13's pick up included:

• One bag of greens (looks like arugula and something else)
• One bunch of salad turnips (I did not take these....)
• One head of garlic
• 1/2 Pound of green beans (Stella ate two of these while we were picking up. They were not the cleanest)
• Two red peppers
• One pound of tomatoes (Heirloom, but not the best quality. All mushy and pretty banged up)
• One GIANT head of calla-loo (other option was a bunch of small beets)

I am thinking of sauteing up the Calla-loo, but that is a LOT. Not sure what would happen if I ate it all!
Also, getting somewhat disappointed with the quality. They tell  you not to pick over the items. Basically, you touch it, you take it, but I am thinking this is getting a little crazy.

We shall see what the rest of the season brings. I am excited that the weather has turned and turning the oven on will not be torture!

Week 11

Week 11's Pick Up included:

• One pound of yellow squash (other choice: beets.)
• One head of Broccoli
• One pound of tomatoes
• One pint of speciality tomatoes (I don't remember what kind they were...)
• One head of salad lettuce

VERY bored with the pick up.
The head of lettuce was very tiny (one salad) and the tomatoes were not the best to say the least. The broccoli also has black spots on it, which I think is mold. Yuk.

We shall see what next week brings I guess!

Week 12

Week 12's pick up included:

• 4 Ears of Corn
• 2 pounds mixed of Carrots and Japanese Eggplant (long, purple things)
• 2 Peppers (green and red)
• 1.25 Pounds of Tomatoes (not impressed at the quality of these. Very squishy and bruised)
• One "green" choice - a head of salad lettuce. Other Choices were Kale and Swiss Chard)

I am going to go google things to do with Japanese Eggplant now!

Also, I need to catch up with a few dishes I have made. The summer is definitely getting in the way! I wanted to keep up with the pick ups though so I can look back at the year and see if it is worth doing again next year.
