Farm share, week 3

[magid]

It started raining just as I got to the distribution point; I hadn't realized that there's a slab of corrugated metal (if corrugated metal can be called a slab) above that exit from Harvest, so the veggies stayed dry.

This week's bounty:

• a bunch of cute beets with greens
  
• two (hothouse) tomatoes
  
• a bunch of scallions (very thin ones, with all the greens)
  
• two heads of lettuce; I got green leaf (absolutely enormous) and red leaf (merely big), and there was romaine as an option, too
  
• up to three pounds of greens, choosing from chard, spinach (I got half of the last of it), and purple flat-leaf kale; I got about a pound and a half of spinach and chard, which may end up feeding my freezer for now
  
• up to six pounds of: one stalk of broccoli, one (corn-shaped) head of cabbage, a bunch of radishes, garlic scapes, something else that was already gone, and however many zucchinis and summer squashes you could face; I ended up with a broccoli (it's almost purple), a couple of garlic scapes, and about five and a half pounds of zukes and squish, so any and all recipes or ideas for them are extremely welcome (I'm wishing I had meunster cheese, so I could make my mom's summer dinner of sauteed zukes, squish, and onions topped with cheese.)

Oh, and I might drive out to the farm Sunday, to pick strawberries and sugar snap peas, too.

Note to self: consider leaving the car closer to Central on Wednesdays as the share gets heavier.

Noted. Though I will point out that you're going out of town...

There'll be a sudden paucity of zucchinis next week?

It could happen! The weather, for instance, could be cloudy with a chance of fat men from outer space obsessed with zucchini.

which would, of course, solve the problem of too much zucchini in the first place.
