CSA Share, Week 11
August 13, 2008
We received 7 ears of corn (I’m going to have to start freezing it), chard, lettuce mix (yay! but it’s very wet — it won’t last long, even if I spin it dry before storing), parsley, cilantro, 2 Mars red onions, 2 jalapeños, 1 cucumber, 1 tiny zucchini, a quart of green beans, a pint of Juliet plum tomatoes, an overflowing pint of slicing tomatoes, 1 eggplant, 1 green pepper, and 2 Carmen peppers (they’re sweet).
Practically Edible informs me that Mars red onions did not, in fact, originate on Mars. In case you were wondering.

Here’s my favorite method for extending the life of salad greens:
1. Wash them and spin them dry.
2. Roll them up in a white kitchen towel or a length of paper towels and put them in a zip-lock bag, removing as much air as you can.
3. Rewrap in a dry towel every day or so.
They’ll keep for up to a week this way. You can do this with the cooking greens, too, but I find it easier just to cook them as soon as I can and then store them in the fridge or freezer until I need them.
