csa summer (part 2)

Week 3: cherries (even better than the prior week!), zucchini (2), summer squash (1), scallions, apricots, green beans, cantaloupe, corn on the cob (2) and French breakfast radishes (spicy!).  We made: zucchini-kale-scallion "risotto" with orzo; ate the green beans and corn on the first day; froze the summer squash for future smoothies; and froze most of the apricots for future baking.  I see a lot of apricot crumbles ahead in this autumn - yay! 


Week 4: blackberries (as big as my thumb), corn on the cob (4), green beans, red kale, apricots, tiny white onions, beets and cucumbers.  The blackberries were so sweet and the apricots were especially good this week.  We ate all the corn and the beans on the first day; the kale went into a weeknight salad with kidney beans, jolloff rice, pickled radishes and olives; I froze some of the beets for smoothies and quick-pickled the rest with some of the onions; the cucumbers and the rest of the onions got spicy quick-pickled.  I need to start making more smoothies because the freezer is getting full.  Not complaining about that - love having all the options.
