Winter farm share, pickup 7 of 12

[magid]

• a big bag of spinach
  
• a tiny bag of dried cayenne peppers
  
• a medium (half-pound) bag of shiitake mushrooms
  
• a quart jar of tomato puree
  
• eleven carrots
  
• eleven Russet potatoes
  
• ten beets

I'm particularly glad for the potatoes and mushrooms (during COVID, I can't seem to get enough potatoes, kale, onions, or mushrooms). I do wish there were a bit more variety; it would be nice to get parsnips, or celeriac, or rutabaga, or winter squash, etc. Still, it's all good quality, though not nearly enough quantity for me for two weeks; I definitely run low/out less than a week after pickup.

yummy! I made vegetarian "shepherd's pie" with potatoes on top of lentils with random veggies and mushrooms last night. I forget how much I like mashed potatoes.

Your 'shepherd's pie' sounds lovely!

And I have been eating far more mashed potatoes in the last 6-9 months than possibly in the decade before that! (My favorite kind now are with the skin on, and with massaged kale mixed in as well. I can eat a whole lot of them.)
