magidThis week in the box there was:
a big bunch of collards,
a little bunch of cilantro (that I gave away)
a mid-sized cucumber
two largish heads of lettuce
a bunch of basil
two yellow patty pan squash
3 yellow summer squash
about 18 small new potatoes, ranging from really tiny to half a fist
When I went to pick up my share, the vague guy who runs the farm was there (Oakes), and he introduced this year's farmer, John. John and I ended up talking for a while. He wanted to know how things were this year, both for general quantity and for more/less of specific veggies. As other people came by, I found that I am apparently in the minority for being happy with the amount of lettuce; others are feeling inundated. I got to hear about some of the upcoming veggies (yum), and we talked recipes. He asked for some, and I said I have descriptions, but not recipes: I don't measure, just cook by look/taste/feel most of the time. Interesting chat.
And in porch news, I have another half dozen or more cherry tomatoes ripening :-). Highly exciting.... perhaps some salad next week will feature farm lettuce and my tomatoes....
