summer CSA, week 9

[cellio]

• small watermelon ("sweet beauty")
• bunch large red beets, with greens
• 4 green peppers
• bag salanova lettuce
• 4 yellow peaches
• cup? blueberries
• bag yellow beans
• 3 zucchini
• 1 yellow squash
• 1 candy onion
• bonus: jar rhubarb preserves

(Small share got: zucchini, blueberries, yellow beans, yellow peaches, canteloupe, leeks.)

There was a problem with the delivery yesterday and the driver couldn't get there before the hosting business closed. So they rescheduled for today, but I took today off from work for Pennsic prep, so they let me drop by their warehouse to pick it up this morning. When I got there the person tending the desk apologized again (hey, these things happen) and said my box contained some extras. The jar of preserves is definitely extra (wasn't in the email announcement); I don't know whether I also got more zucchini and/or peppers than I would have otherwise. (Those were loose while the peaches and beans were bagged, so I don't think they added to those.)

Peaches! Yay!

The emailed suggestions for the blueberries include blueberry-zucchini bread ("combine your blueberries with..."). I'm dubious. Blueberry muffins are good; zucchini bread is good; I don't really imagine those combining well. Blueberries go in cobbler, though I'll probably just eat these ones raw, perhaps in yogurt or cereal.

The first half of the watermelon was delicious.

Candy onions are new to me. This one is huge!

Dani observed that the dominant color of the farm-share box is getting yellower. Hey, I see representation from most of the rainbow there. :-)

Most of this will go to Pennsic with us.
