csa summer: ninth box

This box was so heavy!  Kind of a weird one, but super heavy!  We got five huge onions, two Anaheim peppers, some jalapeno and serrano peppers, twelve (!) huge tomatoes, so many plums and so much garlic.  Plus I supplemented with three ears of corn because Utah corn's days are numbered.

Not a huge variety but lots of it - 

those onions are massive

We ate the corn right away, of course, and the bigger ears were a little starchier but the smaller one was quite good.  I chopped up half of the tomatoes to freeze for soups; the other half was eaten as-is, dressed with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and some sea salt - yum.  The plums were all underripe but once they soften, we'll eat a bunch and then freeze the rest for future compotes, crumbles and galettes.  I'm psyched about the plums - we didn't get any last year.  (Are stone fruits an every other year situation?)  The peppers and an onion were sauteed up and used to top some vegan Italian sausages.  And the garlic: there was really SO MUCH garlic that I gave half of it away to work friends.  The other half will be preserved somehow - pickled, or roasted, mashed and frozen - to extend its lifespan.
