Farm veggies, week 18

(Yes, yes, the season's almost over. Only two weeks left.)

This week's share included:

• two sweet dumpling squashes
  
• a small pumpkin
  
• carrots
  
• twenty-two little red hot peppers, two different kinds
  
• a big bunch of big red radishes, with greens (the stalks look rather like rhubarb)
  
• a big bunch of spinach
  
• four tomatillos
  
• a small bunch of kale
  
• a big bunch of tat soi or pac choi or something like that
  
• and as many green tomatoes as I wanted

I took a bunch of the tomatoes, thinking I might try making fried green tomatoes, even without lard, or some kind of chutney, or something (an email this morning included a green tomato and pear chutney [er, recipe!] that looks nice).

Seen for sale (and certainly not bought by me!): a large cookie, with hard white frosting on it, dark lines like from a coloring book on top, defining the shape, packaged with three (special) colored pens, so kids can color their cookies, then eat them. Ugh.
