This week we got a wonderful variety of vegetables in our veggie share, and some delicious stone fruit in the fruit share. I decided to display them in a grid this time. From top to bottom row, left to right:
lettuce, green beans, spring onions, carrots, cucumbers, plums, nectarines, peaches, mint.
I forgot to take a picture of the zucchini! This week I got a large one, which I’ll use to put in zucchini muffins most likely. The zucchini from last week went into zucchini fritters. I’ll post about them at some point, after I tweak a few things.
The weather was better than last week – not great, but better. It was much cooler, thanks to thunderstorms that passed through this afternoon. It’s still humid, though, and a heat wave is expected this weekend. I have hopes that it won’t be as intense as last time.
I have plans to make a sorbet out of some of the stone fruit. Perfect for hot weather!
Additionally, I got a chunk of chevre and some ground pastured beef. Looking forward to having hamburgers tomorrow!
And finally, our dry bean and grain share was this week and the most striking thing was the oats. I don’t think I’ve actually seen whole oats before. They look perfect to sprout – I’ll have to look into a grain mill attachment for my Kitchen Aid. Or, perhaps I will eat them as hot cereal. I also came across a recipe for a sprouted oat milk, which is intriguing.
