The Weekly Share

We picked up another big share this week.  Here’s what we got:

3 1/2 lbs. tomatoes

1 eggplant

1 squash/zucchini

1/2 oz. cilantro

2 cucumbers

1 head lettuce

1 box raspberries

1 box cherry tomatoes

2 lbs. potatoes (I took 1 lb. purple and 1 lb. gold)

1 bunch spring onions

7 sprigs basil

1 garlic bulb

2 sweet peppers

2 hot peppers

1 tomatillo

We’ve already eaten the raspberries – YUM!  I’m making tacos tonight.  I will use some of the spring onions, some tomatoes and some lettuce as toppings.  I will also use up the fresh salsa I made last week.  We are having Pittsburgh Steak Salads this weekend (a nice garden salad topped with steak, french fries and cheese!) and that will use the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, spring onions, the tomatillo, some cucumber and some sweet pepper.  I’ll do a saute using the squash, eggplant and some garlic this weekend, too.  I think the hot peppers will get frozen since I still have a bunch left over from the last couple weeks.  I will also blanch and freeze some of the tomatoes.  Our garden tomatoes are coming in strong now and I just can’t keep up!  I will probably make some more salsa, too.  I will either dry or freeze the basil.  I still have potatoes left over, so I’m not sure what to do with those…  I think that covers it.  Look for an article on salsa and one on the grocery store price comparison this weekend.
