Last week of session 2
Yes, here we are already. Session 2 is drawing to a close. If you haven't already signed up for next session(s), now would be a great time to do so. The deadline for weekday deliveries in 9 PM Sunday 7/30/06. The deadline for weekend deliveries is 6PM Wednesday 8/02/06.
We look forward to providing you with a delicious variety of mid-summer crops. This week, we bring you Apricots from our friends at Tonnemaker orchards. These large and juicy apricots are wonderful eaten fresh or baked into a tart or cobbler. We also have our Sweet Corn making its debut this week! This is a sweet bi-color corn which has a slightly longer shelf life than some, but of course it's best eaten as soon as possible. Everyone will get some, and there will be a limited supply at a few markets. Sometimes I don't know what to do with my Rapini, so here's an easy sauted Rapini recipe. We've been enjoying Haricot Verts for the last couple weeks, let's talk about them. Their Botanical name is Phaseolus vulgaris, they originated in tropical regions of the Americas, and they are essentially immature legumes. Fresh green beans should be firm and slightly shiny. Do not sprinkle green beans with water, as they rot easily.
Here is a recipe for Spanish style green beans.
This week, your boxes will contain...
Small:1/2# salad, 1/2# haricot vert, 1 bunch carrots, 2 ears corn, 1 (1/2 pint) raspberries, 1 bunch rapini, 1 bunch parsley, 4* Goldrich Apricots from Tonnemakers Family Orchards.
