Fresh. In shell. Something I have never encountered before today.
They were in the swap box today for our CSA pick up. I had to get them and gave up radicchio to do so.
Already shelled and part of a simple dinner tonight. That also included this salad.
Heirloom tomatoes and some African blue basil from my garden. That absolutely awesome mozzarella from last week’s CSA cheese share. Secolari’s white balsamic vinegar and Sevillano olive oil.
There were also potatoes and Merguez sausage for dinner.
But, let’s get back to the CSA basket.
Spaghetti squash
Amish paste tomatoes
Slicing tomatoes
Baby sweet peppers
Baby bok choy
Green Beans
Cubanelles
As for fruit.
Apples. Plums. More peaches (like we need more peaches).
Things I am thinking of making. More tomato sauce, obviously. Pickled peppers. Spaghetti squash with butter and Parm.
As for the chicken share, not pictured, there were two boneless breasts of chicken, and a package of whole chicken legs. Chicken salad will be made this weekend.
Lancaster Farm Fresh comes through again with a mix of very interesting favorites and a few surprises.
Tomorrow: What I did with the Friends and Farms Individual basket.
If you have freezer space, why don’t you freeze these peaches? Blanch, slice, mix with some kind of anti-browing agent (lemon juice, Fruit Fresh, etc) and freeze. They might taste good come wintertime, when you haven’t had any for a while.
