Vegetable inundation

[magid]

I'd forgotten to change my order, so this week I got a big box of vegetables from Boston Organics. To wit:

• two bunches of green chard
  
• two heads of (partly-)red leaf lettuce
  
• two leeks
  
• eight ounces of button mushrooms
  
• a large eggplant
  
• a small head of cauliflower
  
• a bunch of spinach
  
• two tomatoes
  
• a grapefruit (?)

I think I'm going to change to a smaller box, and partly fruit.

I also had the farm share pickup.

• a bunch of carrots
  
• a pint of gorgeous little strawberries (and the right to pick eight pints more; I might drive out this weekend or next. Plus I'd get to pick some sugar snap peas, too.)
  
• [two heads of lettuce; I decided to leave them, since I knew I already had so much lettuce. There's only so much one can do with it, after all.]
  
• three stalks of broccoli [or a bunch of turnips, or a bunch of radishes, or a head of odd cabbage that looked a bit like an ear of corn, or something else I'm forgetting now]
  
• a couple of garlic scapes
  
• three pounds of greens (collards, green chard, bright lights chard, spinach, a variety of kinds of kale; I took less, knowing I had more chard at home. And I suspect I'll end up sauteeing a lot of stuff and freezing it.)

So far, very nice with the farm share.

Yummy! I'm going to have to cook and freeze some of my share this week, too.

Next week is easier, since it's just the farm share, but I suppose I will have to reconsider Boston Organics during the summer if I can't cope...
