Farm share, week 13

[magid]

• six ears of corn
  
• a head of garlic
  
• an eggplant (There were regular dark purple ones, also huge lighter violet ones (I took one of these), and hugely long violet Asian ones, that looked a bit... obscene.)
  
• ten tomatoes (a couple of different kinds, but none of my favorites)
  
• six to eight beets
  
• a small bunch of dried-on-the-stalk cranberry beans (totally unexpected. I've never used them before; ought to be fun.)
  
• ten carrots (some orange, some purple, some light yellow)
  
• a bunch of lacinato kale (choice of kale or some other green (collards?) that I didn't see)
  
• a bunch of red radishes with greens
  
  
• fruit share: six peaches

I'd been hoping for a pint of little tomatoes in the fruit share.

This week's Boston Organics delivery was heavy. I still got a small box, partly fruit, but I also got five pounds of wild Maine blueberries (from Burke Hill Farm, in Cherryfield ME)! *happy dance* I'm surprised how compactly they're packed, being about the size of a ream of paper. I also got

• a head of red cabbage
  
• four ears of corn
  
• two medium zucchini
  
• an acorn squash (first winter squash of the season!)
  
• a head of purple cauliflower (no comment on its personal preferences)
  
• three large onions
  
• a pint of grape tomatoes
  
• two limes
  
• three plums

Plus a dozen eggs; I still have the last dozen from two weeks ago. Must start thinking in eggs again. Not as much fruit as I would've expected, barring the extra blueberry goodness. And no newsletter, so no notes.


PS. Swag report: for the last two days, there's been a guy handing out packets for Extra Strength Excedrin at the Arlingon station in the afternoon. I'd've thought swag tended to be to promote new products. So far, no headache, so I haven't tried it.

Blueberry meringue.

Strangely, no. Blueberry coffee cake, maybe.
