[local eating] Farm share, week 6

[magid]

• three pounds of pickling cucumbers
  
• a medium head of red cabbage
  
• two summer squash (I chose zucchini; there were yellow ones, light green ones, and globe ones)
  
• a head of new garlic on the stalk
  
• three large new sweet white onions with some of their greens
  
• a bunch of beets with greens (I chose teeny tiny beets)
  
• a largeish head of radicchio
  
• a bunch of parsley
  
• a smallish head of lettuce (I chose what looks like red oak)
  
• a tomato *dance of tomato joy*

I'm awash in cucumbers; there will be cucumber salad this Shabbat, and I suppose I should pickle some, though I'm just not so interested in them that way. Anyone want to trade other produce for some cukes?

The parsley I think I'll save for fish, and the red cabbage might get me to sauerkraut (I suspect I have enough cabbage for both slaw and kraut at this point). The beet greens will likely be sauteed with preserved lemon and perhaps pine nuts. The tomato will become a tomato salad, unshared as I enjoy the first one :-).

I purchased yesterday at the farmers' market one tiny pickling cucumber. I washed it and ate it whole, and enjoyed it very much.

Yum!

I've started making inroads into last week's cucumbers, and I hope to be done with them over Shabbat.
