farm share, week 12

[magid]

• three pounds of small red-skinned potatoes
  
• three medium zucchini
  
• three pounds of field tomatoes
  
• two pounds of heirloom tomatoes
  
• one and a half pounds of beets (a mix of small to medium red or gold ones)
  
• two pounds of yellow onions
  
• a bunch of rainbow Swiss chard
  
• a pound and a half of green peppers (which turned out to be three)
  
• a head of lettuce (I got green leaf)
  
• a bunch of edamame
  
• a head of red cabbage they ran out, so offered an extra bunch of chard and another pepper; I would rather have had the red cabbage
  
• six ounces of oyster mushrooms

The big CSA news this week for me was that the person running the distribution, who I've known casually for years, has dropped out for the rest of the season (apparently due to pregnancy and construction dust/fumes not being a good combination). The replacement is nice enough, but not as organized, and there was almost nothing in the swap box (ie I kept the chard I don't care for, because all there was in it was a cantaloupe from the fruit share, and I don't care for cantaloupe either).

First thoughts: saute onions and mushrooms, maybe eat with boiled potatoes/potato salad. sauteed chard with... lemon and pine nuts/walnuts? (could freeze, if not interesting now). steamed edamame. green salad with tomatoes, cukes (from last week), leftover chicken. not sure what to do with the peppers, maybe roasted with some tomato and zucchini. the beets will keep.
