CSA Number 8

[blueberries, peaches, snapdragons, lettuce, kale, beets, summer squash, beans, potatoes]

This week the produce was pretty manageable. Plenty of squash, potatoes, beets, lettuce for salad tonight, kale for a caesar later. Peaches for maybe another cobbler? Snapdragons that I hope don’t go to the bugs. It’ll be a great week for fresh and roasted veg.

[summery lentil soup]

We are going full soup mode this week. J also made a soup tonight using the potatoes and zucchini from this week, plus onion and carrots from last week, plus lentils and canned tomatoes and chickpeas. Summer be damned.

Also, I didn’t take a picture because I ate it too quickly, but I found out that adding pickled cherries to chocolate (oat) ice cream is incredible. The chocolate cuts the bite of the vinegar, and brings out the almond flavor in the cherries, blending everything into a tart and savory dessert. I will be trying this again for sure.
