It's very difficult to look back and remember what we got more than a week ago. i should write it down, but ironically i'm really lazy about certain things.
we got (i think): plumbs, eggs, cantaloupe, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, watermelon, oregano, cucumber, garlic, zucchini, onion, lettuce, cabbage, swiss chard.
we at the cantaloupe for breakfast and watermelon as a snack. and i'm sure that i made a sandwich or two with lettuce and tomato on it.
the highlight of the week was making a huge dinner for several peeps with my gf. i was able to actually use some of my cookbooks and find recipes based on what i had. we steamed the edamame from the week prior and salted it to eat as an appetizer. a cocktail was made out of vodka, lemon, the cucumbers and mint from my "garden". for dinner, we had a buffet of eggplant/tomato (the dish from the last post), cucumber/yogurt/mint salad, red cabbage slaw, a squash bake made from a recipe that my gf's mom gave me (had eggs, tomato, zucchini and some of the frozen squash from weeks past), a green salad containing lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and corn, roasted potatoes with rosemary from the "garden" and finally, for dessert, a plumb crisp using all of the little plumbs. there was also bread and cheese which is worth noting because who doesn't love bread and cheese.
i was very optimistic with the amount of cooking we would get done. but we managed to go for a bike ride in the am and take a one hour "nap" and we only cut out one dish. not too shabby. shoo.
on a totally unrelated but somewhat related note, doesn't everyone want to hear how gone to e dog's food making is going? you can't get much more local than that. sorry is that inappropriate?
