[local eating] Farm share, week 16, and Shabbat dinner

[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

Thank you! So far, so good. I hope you find sukkot to eat in as well! And that the unpacking isn't onerous.

The menu worked out reasonably well, modulo the dessert being somewhat burned by accidentally putting it on a burner I'd left on (which I never do like that, of course), in addition to having too much crumb-ish topping that wasn't interesting enough.
