This Week's Share - 8/18/10

It had been a few weeks since I was able to go to the CSA pick-up, so I had a lot of fun selecting our veggies last Wednesday. Here's what was available:

• Basil
• Green Peppers
• Chili Peppers
• Onions
• Tomatoes
• Carrots
• Greens
• Summer Squash/ Zucchini
• Beans
• Broccoli

I took the broccoli and the onions, and J kept the greens, the chili peppers, and the basil (since we grow our own). I picked a pint of tomatoes that were heirloom varieties - I wish I had taken a photo of them before we ate them! Oops. They were very tasty, but a little mushy...

For my half of the summer squash, I picked one yellow squash and one patty pan squash. If you've never had a patty pan squash, you should definitely try it - they're not only fun-looking, they taste great too! We made grilled veggies and grilled tofu with the squash, some leftover zucchini, and some onions and peppers. YUM!
