fall CSA, week 5

[cellio]

• 7 poblano (?) peppers
• rhubarb preserves
• butternut squash
• head green cabbage
• delicata squash
• 5 stayman winesap apples
• 5 red potatoes
• 7 rainbow carrots (most medium-large)
• 1 red onion

The email said we'd be getting poblano peppers, which I'm used to being less long and skinny. These smell like they could be poblanos. Is this just a variant form (it's not like I've seen tons of these, after all)? If not, what are they?

Dani would like cabbage soup. The last time I went to the elves Google for a recipe, he thought it was ok but wasn't what he is used to as cabbage soup. He couldn't really articulate it, though. If there is such a thing as a canonical eastern-European-Jewish cabbage soup, please enlighten me.

The preserves were listed as "a surprise valued-added item". I wondered if this were a way for them to solve a "misc" problem (having assorted stuff but not enough of any one thing to list it). Perhaps it was, but everybody at my pickup location got the same preserves. These ones are good on toast.

True; an hour and a half in the pot should render a knife redundant.

I'm sorry but since I posted this here I couldn't stop thinking about cabbage. I just had to make some. :)



About half of that pot is already gone.
