CSA week 6

[khamsin]

Week of August 7

• 1 bunch ENORMOUS beets
• 1 bunch carrots with greens
• 2 cucumbers
• 2 eggplants
• 1 bunch kale
• 4 squashes, at least half patty pan
• 10 ears corn
• 1 watermelon

Meals

• I missed my grandma, so on the anniversary of her death, we had Beyond Beef meatloaf, cole slaw, oven-roasted corn, watermelon, and mint juleps
• The big kid has been asking for a corn contest, so we (I) made corn two ways: firecracker cornbread from My New Roots but with fresh corn added, and an improvised pumpkin corn soup for a toddler who was experiencing potty fears
• Beets roasted, marinated, and served as poke which was wildly better than expected
• A bunch of things spiralized into zucchini noodle pad thai which basically no one other than me liked. I gave my spiralizer away after N pointed out that spiralized things always seem like they're going to be better than they are. Fair point.
• Still more beets in a salad with red onion, olives, and orange. Love this and can't make it often enough.
• Roasted squash and corn with chimichurri
• Eggplant fried and served with steamed dumplings and rice after an afternoon at the beach with a friend
