CSA 2010, Week 8
August 1, 2010
It was a beautiful day, and we remembered to bring a little bread to feed the chickens. But much to the boys’ annoyance, there was nothing from our share that I was willing to sacrifice to the goats this week. They had to settle for grass.
We received a head of lettuce, 5 ears of corn, a bunch of swiss chard, green beans, a kabocha squash, 3 Mariachi peppers, 2 bell peppers, a pint of Golden Rave plum tomatoes, a small eggplant, 1 cucumber, 2 zucchini, and 1 yellow squash.
We’re taking the corn to a barbecue today, and I made the yellow squash, zucchini, and kabocha squash into a pasta salad. I roasted all those vegetables, plus an onion, with a little olive oil and salt, and then tossed them with cavatappi (a corkscrew-shaped noodle) and goat cheese. Seasoned again with a little more sea salt. We also made a salad yesterday with the lettuce, a bell pepper, tomatoes, and cucumber. With the Slow Cooker Ratatouille cooked earlier this week, we’ve pretty much finished the share already, except for the green beans.

I think the green beans are a perfect excuse to make Slow Cooker Chicken Vindaloo:)
