Farm share, week 17

[magid]

A friend offered to pick me up at work, bring me to the distribution site, and then home, so I gifted her some salad greens, daikon, eggplant, broccoli, and hot peppers (especially since there's less cooking time this week before next week's share).

• three pounds of carrots
  
• three pounds of potatoes
  
• three pounds of sweet potatoes
  
• three pounds of daikon (I chose purple over white, and small over large)
  
• eight medium-small eggplants
  
• eight stalks of broccoli with greens
  
• eight sweet peppers (mostly green ones)
  
• six leeks
  
• two pounds of mixed salad greens
  
• take-what-you-want hot peppers

First thoughts: how will I fit this into the fridge with all the RH/Shabbat food? What can stay out until I Tetris more room?

Also, yay potatoes and leeks! Mashed potatoes with sauted leeks could happen using the plata (I'm not leaving the oven or a gas burner on for three days). Green salad to a variety of meals I'm not hosting. Stir-fry of some sort. Carrot-daikon pickles and slaw (there may need to be another bout of canning Sunday to keep up). More habanero honey.

What, no 24 tomatoes? 😁

Happy new year 😊

Tomato season has passed!

Happy new year to you, too!

Habanero honey also makes a gray gift!

[magid]

I put the habaneros from last week in a pint jar, then covered them with honey, and now the honey is incredibly liquid, even though I don't think of habaneros as having that much liquid at all. So I'm considering transfer to a larger jar with more honey, so it's not the consistency of juice (!).

Wow, that's pretty runny. I don't remember my batches turning out that runny. Juicy habaneros!
