This Week's Share - 7/14/10

Sorry that I don't have any photos to show you this week, but here's what was in the share:

• Ailsa Craig Sweet Onions
• Carrots
• Cilantro
• Fennel
• Lettuce (We took all of the lettuce)
• Scallions
• Tomato
• Zucchini
• Radicchio (R&J took it this week)

I never specifically said this, but our friend N took our half of last week's share since we were out of town. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, which is why you won't see Week 5 listed anywhere...

No Cucumbers For You!

I thought we were going to get cukes this week, so I found a bunch of recipes online that I wanted to try. Unfortunately we didn't get any, so I'll have to try them in the future (or I guess I could just buy some at the grocery store....). Tell me what you think!
