Local Food 6/19/2010

Summer squash season is here in force.  The CSA box was filled with yellow squash, two huge zucchini, and a large pattypan squash.  The box also came with 4 or 5 cucumbers, a bag of new Yukon gold potatoes, two bunches of tarragon, a bunch of basil, and two cute little heads of cabbage.

Elsewhere at the market, I behaved and exercised restraint since my fridge is still overflowing from last week’s bounty.  I picked up two lovely bunches of small beets, some tomato “seconds,” a jar of Black Raspberry Jelly and a jar of Grape Jam.  The red onions in this picture are from the CSA, I just didn’t put them in the correct picture. 

I have a few thoughts bouncing around in my head for how to use things up.  The only thing I know for sure that I’ll be making is Panzanella with some of those cucumbers.  Yum.

I also put the first real scratch in the new table with the CSA box today.  *sob*
