ugly CSA week 6

[cellio]

• 3 ears corn
• 2 largish tomatoes
• 1 large red onion
• 1 large zucchini (zucchinus?)
• 2 peaches
• 9 Bartlett pears

Total weight about 7.5 pounds.

Two peaches aren't enough to make cobbler; we'll just have to eat them straight, or grilled -- so not a hardship! That's a lot of pears; I should look for a pie recipe or make pearsauce, maybe. (Are Bartletts good in pies? I think I've usually baked with Bosc, though I don't have a ton of experience either way.)

Thank you, Doctor. :-D

Although I know some of my Campanian-American relatives' characteristic cooking argot (e.g., "monigott" for "manicotti," "rigot" for "ricotta," etc.), I don't think I've ever heard one of them refer to a zucchini in the singular. I know we don't say "zucchino" in English, but I thought it might be amusing for me to speak Italian-American to Italian-American on this one.
