This week’s haul (in all its rain-soaked glory) was: pumpkin, winter squash, carrots, sweet potato, garlic, peppers, and eggplant. Cooking highlights for this week included: Pasta Pan-Fried with Butternut Squash, Fried Sage, and Pine Nuts (which included sage from my window garden, as I’ve now moved my keeping herbs in for the season), and an […]
This week’s varieties were: Spencer, Fameuse, Twenty Ounce (there’s a pen in that picture for size contrast), Jonathan, and Wagener. I picked them up again, so the above is the full share.

This week’s haul was: green beans, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, melon, garlic, Italian skillet pepper, and an eggplant. Cooking highlights from last week were: two from my favorite Melissa Clark cookbook – the Raw Tuscan Kale Salad with Chiles and Pecorino, which I turned into a pasta dish, on the advice of a couple blog
So, what do you do when the CSA gives you three pounds of red onions? Make red onion marmalade! The recipe is from Canning for a New Generation (I’m beginning to think I need to give that book credit as a book read, with the amount of time I’ve spent consulting it this year). I

The second I saw Romano beans in this week’s CSA offerings, I knew I had to pick some up and make more of the Indian-spiced pickles I made earlier this summer. BF is not a huge pickle fan, but he liked these, because they have the Indian spices, and so don’t taste as much like

This week’s haul was: peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, Romano beans, broccoli, and dinosaur kale. The cooking highlight of last week was this: Orecchiette with Sage, Roasted Garlic, Cauliflower, and Prosciutto. It takes a bit of time, but was super easy to make, and so very good.
I did the pick up this week, so the above is the entire haul for the week before I took out my mother’s half. The varieties from top left to right (and left to right again) are: Wolf River, Red Baron, Milden, Sweet Sixteen, Red Blaze, and Chestnut.

This week’s haul is: leeks, garlic, bell peppers, red onions, winter squash, and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were an experiment this year, and Ralph said he didn’t expect much out of them, but they ended up with 1500 pounds, so they’ll definitely be doing them again, which is really exciting. In cooking highlights, I
Monday’s canning adventure (yes, I’m a little late to the post) was Plum Cardamom Jam from Liana Krissoff’s Canning for a New Generation. I had the above, plus a nearly full half pint jar to sample. It’s really good jam. Like eat out of the jar with a spoon good. It’s not overly sweet, and

The Farmer’s Market looked gorgeous yesterday. There’s definitely been a seasonal shift – with many root vegetables, and apples everywhere. I bought some local plums that I’m planning on making jam with, and we got ingredients for gazpacho, as well as some sweet corn, for what is possibly our last veggie grill blow out of
