CSA week 7

[khamsin]

August 14 delivery

• 1 eggplant
• 3 heads fennel
• 1 bunch kale
• 2 patty pan squashes
• 5 ears corn
• 2 tomatoes
• 2 heirloom tomatoes
• 2 bags basil

The toddler had a birthday this week and also we had out of town visitors for like 2 hours (out of a planned 4 days), so things were a little wonky.

• First panzanella of the year with tomatoes, corn, and basil
• Tomato tarte tatin with an assortment of tomatoes, can't wait to make this again
• Ottolenghi's zucchini and pasta deal again
• Miso eggplant again, but with corn
• Canceled dinner with friends due to vague not-COVID symptoms and ended up with a stir fry instead
• Kale used up in these bean cakes which I always forget require advanced prep. These were dry because I didn't measure the beans. Also I made them with Hidasa reds which maybe behave differently than the intended white beans.
• Smitten Kitchen's beach bean salad with flageolet beans for a picnic but also for always and forever. I omit the soppressata, though it's one of the few meat things I miss.
