Week 4: The Goods!

Ventured out in the blistering heat this afternoon to get our CSA take. This week's items are all familiar to me:

The blackboard whee they list what we get.

• Carrots
• Garlic (they noted that these are uncured, so should be used quickly or refrigerated)
• Leeks
• Lettuce (red leaf)
• Cabbage (just a standard head of cabbage, no Napa this time)
• Onions (white)
• Cucumbers (so many cucumbers!)
• Squash (went with yellow--these were more round than long)
• Chard (had choice of that, kale or "baby Hakurei salad turnips")

Guess I could have been adventurous and gone with the turnips, but we always manage to use the chard, so I opted to go with that.

On this hot evening, I think I'll use some carrots, cucumbers, and lettuce for a nice, light salad. I think it's supposed to be cooler tomorrow, so I'll try some actual cooking then.
