magid

The loot:

two pounds of (pedestrian) tomatoes
a third of a pound of braising greens
a head of cabbage
half a pound of green beans
a head of escarole (left behind; I knew I wouldn't get around to it)
a sunshine squash
two pounds of potatoes
a pound and a half of carrots
three baby bok choi
a bunch of radishes with greens

And there was the bulk order I'd put in for me and a friend. Except that none of the things for me showed up :-(. Next week, perhaps, beets and bulk tomatoes....

I'm invited out for a three of the meals on first days (!!), and am hosting Shabbat dinner. The only constraint was one person doesn't eat meat, so I ended up going for fish instead.

The menu:

wine, white wheat and barley challot, local honey
hummus, possibly Brie
mushroom-barley soup with buttercup squash
salmon baked with cranberry chutney
potato salad with garlicky pickles and pickled garlic scapes
green salad (either the braising greens with balsamic strawberries and feta, or a multicolored cherry tomato salad with feta)
roasted wax beans
sauerkraut
apple crisp with boozy mulberries, husk cherries, and walnuts (except that I didn't realize I'd left a burner on low, and that's where I put the pot, so it might have burned :-( )
fruit liqueurs, tea if I leave the urn on
