Notes on the box.

It’s the last vegetable delivery of the 2018 season!
the radishes will keep for a long time in your crisper. Our favorite thing to do with them is to shred them and add them to tacos or to slice them thinly and use them in place of crackers with cheese (especially our flavored quark) or quarter them and add to a veggie tray with your favorite veggie dip or hummus.
This week we made a squash lasagna (butternut or pumpkin are the best for this recipe) and served it with a spinach and arugula salad. It was really good!
The Arugula is some of the very best we have had. It’s really tender and very sweet and mild. Really nice in a salad or made into an arugula pesto.
The baby bok choy has been finding its way into stir fry and curry around here.
Store potatoes in a dark place out of the fridge. Squash, garlic, and onions should be stored out of the fridge. Everything else should be stored in the fridge. Greens will keep best in a plastic bag.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

This week we have ricotta and our soft ripened cheese, First Snow. The first snow is just beginning to ripen and the center is still firm. Eaten now, it is nice sliced and served on crackers with jam or with cured meats. Or on sandwich or grilled cheese. If you let it sit in the fridge for a few more weeks the cheese will become more gooey and spreadable.
The Ricotta is great in pasta dishes or on toast with honey or with olive oil, salt and pepper.

If you are sad about the cheese share ending, you can come get Cosmic Wheel Creamery cheese at the following Winter Markets:
Mill City Market inside the Mill City Museum - November 10, 17 and December 1, 8, 15
Neighborhood Roots Markets at Bachman’s - November 11, January 26, March 23
