The fish share was canceled for Tuesday pickups, due to the nor'easter. They're adding on a day at the end to make up for it, which is fine: I ate the last of the fish yesterday, in the end of the potato soup, so having some time between fish is fine with me.

On the plus side, there's a cherry tree near me that's fruiting, which I've been taking advantage of. I'm trying to decide what to do with them, given that getting cherry pits out are a bit of a production. Current thoughts (other than eating out of hand, of course) include

cooking with meat and vinegar (and possibly just warning (still-theoretical) guests about pits)
making some kind of cherry chutney (essentially, the previous idea but letting me use it whenever, rather than immediately (a quick check with Chef Google nets this, or this, or this as starting points))
cherry jam or cherry butter
cherry liqueur
some kind of crumble, crisp, or clafouti

Any other ideas are welcome. Also any suggestions for what to do with mulberries, which I'm going to try to harvest as well.

This week's farm share includes

a head of lettuce (I chose red leaf)
a bunch of dill
a third of a pound of garlic scapes
two-thirds of a pound of Hakurei turnips (I chose small ones, to maximize greens and minimize and bitterness)
a bunch of curly parsley or a bunch of cilantro (no surprise, I chose the former)
two pounds of summer squash (I chose zucchini)
a bunch of young white onions with greens
a bunch of kale or collards (I dug down to get to the lacinato kale)
a stalk of broccoli
a small head of green cabbage

I still have most of last week's lettuce (but no other salad leaves), some dill, scallions, and scapes, and a couple of carrots left. Also some of the turnips, carrots, and kohlbrabi in the form of Shabbat's slaw, which may be re-dressed with a mixture of mayo and chipotle mustard to reinvigorate it. Plans for outstanding veggies include lots more green salad, possibly some cole slaw, stir-fried broccoli and carrots, roasted summer squash, and perhaps trying to make some Japanese-style pickled turnips.
