Farm share, week 5

[magid]

A much heavier bag, including

• a banana pepper
  
• a cubanelle pepper
  
• a stalk of broccoli (that sounds like it should be a collective noun)
  
• a bunch of collards
  
• a bunch of basil
  
• two green peppers (anyone want them?)
  
• a bag of 10 small to medium red potatoes
  
• a large pickling cuke
  
• three carrots
  
• three onions with greens
  
• a large zucchini

Porch update: four tomatoes have started turning red, and I'm hoping one or two will be ready to eat in the next day or two.

they gave us potatoes that are red, white, AND blue this week.

i'm just going to have to make a DNC potato salad, now aren't i.

Ooh, blue potatoes! I haven't had them in ages.

Yes, you're definitely going to have to make DNC potato salad!
(The question is, what kind of potato salad? Will you help the DNC be green by adding scallions, for instance?)

[bitty.livejournal.com]

It' snot easy being Green, not even in Massachusetts.

We have more scallions than we can possibly eat, so that'd be a yes.

Mmmm... scallions. So useful, versatile almost-onions. I've used them in salad, with eggs, in soup (miso!), on pizza.... pretty much everywhere but dessert.

oh yes, they can go anywhere, we just can't eat them all before they go bad because there're just that many.

Sautee 'em and freeze 'em?

(or make three-onion pancakes, with masses of onion, leek, and scallion sauteed down together, then put in pancakes (I did this with matza meal). Er, after induction. So sautee now, carbs later.)

Or give them to a certain appreciative someone in Medford? ;)

Your farmer seems to produce much more on the actual food-that-people-eat scale. I've been getting a lot of fennel (ok, its tasty, but I wouldn't consider it a staple), arugula, and beets. I want tomatoes, peppers and cilantro, darnit!!

[magid.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to give you my green peppers (I don't eat green peppers: they're not ripe yet). And though I don't appreciate fennel much, arugula and beets are good. I've been wishing for arugula, and end up buying some elsewhere.

Which farm do you have a share in?
