Farm share week 9

[magid]

Another very full box this week:

• a pint of cherry tomatoes
  
• an heirboom tomato
  
• two 'modern' tomatoes
  
• a bunch of red radishes with greens
  
• a bunch of cilantro
  
• a bunch of arugula
  
• a bunch of mizuna
  
• one pound of carrots
  
• a cucumber
  
• a small cantaloupe
  
• a head of green leaf lettuce
  
• a bunch of regular (green) Swiss chard
  
• two summer squash, one of them pattypan

(Yes, this all fit into one box.)
The pick-your-own this week is dill, flowers, and some varieties of basil (purple, Thai, cinnamon, and lemon).

I found myself slightly squicked at the supermarket afterward: Stonyfield Farm now lists insulin as an ingredient in all the yogurts I looked at. And that was before seeing all the strangely colored and flavored pistachios (garlic-lemon, etc.).

I'll take the carrots, if you can't find a use for them!
What are "modern" tomatoes? Stainless steel cubes that pack nicely and last forever?

The carrots are mine! [gloating piratey laughter]

Right now, I'm thinking of roasting them with potatoes, onions, and garlic, though they might end up in a slaw of some sort instead... A pound of carrots is just not a difficult thing to use up in a week :-). (Sorry)

I think in this case "modern" = non-heirloom. Though they look a little underripe, they are distinctly uncubelike, and I hope they don't last forever!
