CSA Basket

As some of you may know Bob and I signed up for a Community Shared Agriculture share this year. I thought it would be fun to take a picture of the basket each week. I'm going to post them all under this post and just keep adding a picture a week - so keep checking back.

Week 10 - Our CSA Basket.
It was delivered Wednesday, however the bottom of the box fell out when Dan was carrying downstairs. Being "helpful", he put all the contents away and then I was too lazy to put it back together for a pic - it contained:
Strawberries, eggplant, 6 tomatillos, brandywine tomatoe, fingerling potatoes, cabbage (supposed to be mini, but they are not that mini), 6 cobs of corn and a cantaloupe.

We made a salsa with the tomatillos and brandywine on Wednesday. Had grilled flank steak in a tortilla wrap with the salsa, a corn relish preserve from a few weeks ago, shredded cheese. Corn on the cob.

Tonight we had pan seared pork loin with a red wine reduction, roasted fingerling potatoes (with red onion and garlic from a previous weeks delivery) and cob on the corn.

Cantalope, strawberries and ice cream will be my dessert shortly.

When our basket showed up this week it was abit of a mess, I assume people have not been returning their little pint/quart baskets as all the beans, potatoes etc. were just rolling around in the box. I got so busy cleaning them up - I forgot to take a picture first :(
Sorry folks. Stay tuned for next week.
