Boston Organics delivery

[magid]

The box has

• two heads of garlic
  
• an eggplant
  
• a bunch of Swiss chard (all green leaf)
  
• an acorn squash
  
• a bag of green beans
  
• a 6-ounce bag of baby lettuces
  
• seven kiwis (Help! What do I do with that many kiwis?)
  
• five Cameo apples
  
• a mango
  
• two navel oranges
  
• five still-rather-green bananas (which is good, since there's all the rest of this fruit)

It still feels like not quite enough veggies compared to fruit. But it is nice getting some fruit. Hrm.

Thanks for the details. I dunno about the kiwi, I wouldn't eat it myself.

I'm considering putting it on the do not send list; one or two would be ok, but seven is just too many for me.

kiwis

I eat them like apples and oranges. Peel...and yummy!

For me, that'll use up a kiwi or two. Unlike apples and oranges, I don't think they do well in heat, so I'm not sure about cooking them. Though I might've seen something about kiwi jam somehwere... Must go looking.

Would kiwi be good for sorbet?

[magid.livejournal.com]

Possibly. I've never made sorbet, so I'm not familiar with which fruits work.

Heh, and on the practical side, I don't know if there's enough room in the freezer...

My current thought is to either make jam (I'd have to get pectin, since it's a low-pectin fruit, and my usual plan to avoid pectin, aka cranberries, would likely overwhelm the kiwis) (there are recipes for plain kiwi jam, strawberry-kiwi jam, and pineapple-kiwi jam online), or have people over for smoothies.
