csa summer: third box

 We got kale in our third CSA box!  We love kale!  We also got very good cherries, some sugar snap peas, a couple of zucchini and a summer squash, spicy little radishes, a bunch of apricots, rainbow carrots with tops, two (!) boxes of raspberries and more beets.  And although there wasn't any corn on the cob in the box, I bought three ears (for $1/each).  The ears seem a little small but the corn was still tasty.

I think I'd actually rather more
zucchini and fewer beets

I gave away one zucchini to a coworker and then shredded and froze the rest for future use; we also gave away almost all the cumulative beets to friends; the raspberries were devoured on their own, plus I put some in my morning oatmeal; the kale, radishes and carrots went into salads; and the carrot tops were clean enough this time that I was able to make them into carrot top pesto (rounded out with a little kale).  I don't know if we'll be able to eat all the apricots fresh before they get too soft - but if it starts getting close, I'll flash-freeze them for future baking (crisps/crumbles/galettes).
