  • a spaghetti squash
  • a head of green cabbage
  • two large or four small eggplants
  • two stalks of broccoli
  • three-quarters of a pound of carrots
  • a third of a pound of okra (both green and purple pods!)
  • a third of a pound of salad mix
  • two pounds of heirloom tomatoes (many kinds)
  • two pounds of slicer tomatoes
  • a bunch of Swiss chard
  • a bunch of edamame
  • a head of red-leaf lettuce
  • four long red hot peppers
  • a bunch of parsley (traded for more eggplant)
    I just wish there had been some form of allium, too. And I probably should have traded the spaghetti squash, since I never do find myself inspired by it (all other winter squashes are nicer, in my opinion).

    I just pickled the hot peppers, and am debating pickling the okra (or roasting it). Obviously, some green salad with happen. Also, stir-fry with the broccoli and some carrots, with some steamed edamame as an appetizer. The eggplant will likely be sauteed once I get some onions. And the cabbage can wait a bit; I just started a new batch of sauerkraut yesterday with two previous heads (napa + red).

Monday night I got to see a lovely new show, Trial By Audience (Rebecca Graber & Christopher Snyder) put on by the MIT Gilbert & Sullivan Players. It was excellent, though I regret to admit I am not as familiar with the whole canon as I would like, so some references went by me.

The frame story is about Sir Gilbert put on trial for crimes such as silly plot twists, self-plagiarization, and demeaning people such as women and soldiers. There were lots of songs (natch), many with bits of actual G&S in them, and sometimes other things as well (a certain Elements Song worked in with some of the Modern Major General's accomplishments, for example). I was also very amused by the mathematical proof about love and marriage. In short, a good evening's entertainment.
