Week 5:
No Picture! We’re a the shore this week so my sister-in-law picked it up and we forgot to take a picture of it when she arrived. But here is what we got:
- Baby Bok Choy
- Radishes that my sister-in-law promptly ate most of
- Strawberries that got destroyed as soon a possible
- Tomatoes (oh they were so yummy!)
- English Peas –This was the first time my wife actually shelled a pea! She loved it!
- Scallions
- Arrowhead Cabbage
- Basil
We used the last few radishes and all of the cabbage and some carrots from the grocery store (blah!) to make a simple what we called “Shore Slaw”. We added some cider vinegar and light sour cream as well as some salt and pepper to finish off the mix. T
he strawberries lasted for literally 5 minutes after they were washed and cut and combined with some local Jersey blueberries. YUM! The tomatoes have gone in salads, in and on omlettes. The peas have been shelled and are awaiting their fate in a salad. The basil has gone on eggs and omlettes all week. This week’s share has gone very quickly! Good thing it is almost Saturday again (ok so it’s only Wednesday)!
