csa summer 2023: week 2

 Second CSA box, picked up July 12, had two kinds of cherries, more scallions, some garlic scapes, carrots, more apricots, one each of a zucchini, a summer squash and a cucumber, another cantaloupe, romaine lettuce and green leaf lettuce.

My very first garlic scapes (had to

crowdsource recipes)

The cherries were delicious this time: I liked the tangy yellow ones while H preferred the extremely sweet red ones.  The melon was also very good.  I made a carrot top and garlic scape pesto for the freezer (perhaps a little too garlicky for my preference) and shredded the squashes, which were frozen in half-cup servings for future baking.  The carrots were made into a carrot "lox" for bagels - a little weird, but we may just have to try a different recipe.  The scallions went into a scallion vinagrette (scallions are the only onion I can tolerate raw).  And we've been eating a ton of salads with all the fresh greens, bulking them up with brown rice, black beans, sriracha tofu and BBQ tempeh.
