We had to skip our seventh CSA box so to make up for it, we got two boxes the following week. Best part about that: DOUBLE THE BLACKBERRIES!!!! In addition to four cartons of blackberries, we got doubles of cantaloupe, broccoli, purple and ivory peppers, summer squash (sigh), big peaches, tomatoes (cherry and full-sized) and a few apples. The current corn variety was not quite ready for picking so fingers crossed we'll get some of that in box #9.
The melons were chunked up and eaten: they weren't the most flavorful but improved with a sprinkling of Tajin. The berries were devoured fresh, plus I put some of mine in my breakfast oatmeal. We put some broccoli and peppers in a stirfry and then blanched and flash-froze the rest of the broccoli. More peppers were cooked up with onions for sandwich toppies. Tomatoes were sliced and put on salads and bagels. Some of the peaches were eaten fresh but the others were flash-frozen for future fruit cobblers and crumbles. And, I'm sorry, but I took the squashes in to work and gave them away. Too many squashes!
