The Weekly Share

I was out of town for 4 days this week (was only supposed to be away for 2!), so my in-laws picked up our share on Tuesday (thanks, Mike & Terry!).  I don’t have a picture or weights/amounts this time, but our share consists of the following:

• tomatoes
• cucumber
• zucchini
• green beans
• green onions
• beets
• cabbage
• spring mix
• garlic scapes
• dill
• cilantro
• basil

We’ve got a nice variery of herbs, now.  I think I will make some fresh salsa with the tomatoes, green onions, garlic scapes and cilantro.  I just received my order of a basic canning kit, so I will use the dill, along with cucumbers from our garden to make pickles.  Wish me luck!  Beets, cabbage and dill get me in the mood for borscht.  It’s quite an involved recipe, but it is well worth it.  If I tackle it over the weekend, I will post pictures.  If you’ve never had borscht, you are in for a treat!  It is really amazing!  Our own basil plant really grew while I was gone, so I think I’ll be making and freezing some pesto this weekend.  Our own green beans are florishing, too, so with share and home-grown green beans packing the fridge, I think I need to make ham, green beans and potatoes.  Not sure what I’m doing with the zucchini yet…  OK, I’m off fold laundry load #4!  Good night, all!
