The Weekly Share

Our share seemed smaller this week than it has been recently.  I believe this is due to the ending of summer crops while the fall crops are not quite ready.  We have been assured that the fall crops are doing well and will be showing up in our shares in the near future.  This week we received:

Share 13

• 7 sprigs basil
• 2 lbs. tomatoes
• 1 head garlic
• 1 squash
• 2lbs. potatoes
• 1 handful parsley
• 1 box raspberries
• 6 oz. green beans
• 1 red onion
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 bunch celery
• 2 sweet peppers
• 2 jalepeno peppers
• 2 hot peppers

I used the parsley Tuesday night in spaghetti with clam sauce (YUM!).  We have eaten the raspberries right out of the box (YUM YUM!).  The sweet peppers have been cut up for snacking and lunch boxes.  The basil is drying.  If I can find just a little bit of space in my freezer, I will freeze some of the jalepeno and hot peppers.  I still have some left from previous weeks and I either need to use them or freeze them.  I’d like to blanch and freeze some tomatoes, too, but I have absolutely no room in my freezer!  Maybe I’ll rearrange my basement this weekend and buy a chest freezer…  I do not currently have a plan for the squash, potatoes, onions, celery and green beans.  I’ll let you know what I end up doing!  Have a great weekend!
