CSA Week Eighteen

We are heading towards fall. At least the veggies are changing. Our box had some lettuce in it this week, and kale. Here is what it looked like, but there still is summer goodness in there.

Sandy Spring CSA Week Eighteen

The List:

6 Ears Bi-Color Corn – already shucked and ready for Friday night dinner
1 Bunch Green Kale – in the crock pot today with beef short ribs
1 Bag Mixed Beans – washed and put away to be used Monday
2 Heads Baby Bok Choy – destined for chicken next Thursday or Friday
1 Bag Purple Viking Potatoes – two of these are in the crock pot, too
1 Bag White Onions – lovely onions, maybe in a soup next week
1 Head Green Romaine Lettuce – cleaned, and resting in the spinner
1 Stalk Edamame – cleaned and ready to roast this weekend
1 White Acorn Squash – all the squash are hanging out together
1 Bag Red Roma Tomatoes – to be blanched and frozen
1 Bunch Dill (swapped to get more cherry tomatoes)
1 Pint Mixed Cherry Tomatoes – with its second box ready to nibble

Organic cherry tomatoes

As for last week’s African horned melon, I cut it open yesterday. It looked different, and really didn’t have a strong taste. Let’s say I was underwhelmed.

And, last week the beets were roasted and became part of a few salads for lunches. I love the golden beets best.

As usual, I will be linking up my CSA posts with In Her Chucks linky party. It is where I get lots of inspiration on what to cook each week.
