csa summer: sixth box

Box #6 arrived and it was pretty dang good, although we miss the cherries and berries of the early boxes.  For fruit, we got a big canteloupe, donut peaches and regular peaches; for veg, corn on the cob, green beans (must be nearing the end of those but they're still good), green peppers, a couple of tomatoes (yes, technically fruit but), a cucumber, a zucchini, a summer squash and a green cabbage.  I feel like maybe a couple more tomatoes and/or peaches would have been okay.

I am officially over summer squash at this point

The corn and beans were eaten that night, as corn's sugars start turning to starch as soon as it gets picked, so the longer you wait, the less tasty it is.  I gave away the cucumber and the two squashes.  The melon got cut up immediately: it was pretty good, although not Green River good, and we ate it straight and also in some smoothies.  The cabbage got put into a dinner of gochujang noodles and also a batch of coleslaw, which went with BBQ vegan "pulled pork" (soy curl) sandwiches.

And, glory of glories, I traded all the remaining beets from prior boxes to a neighbor for homegrown tomatoes!  Win-win!
