Notes on the box.

BLT time! No better summer dinner than a nice BLT and corn on the cob enjoyed outside.
Everything except tomatoes should be stored in the fridge. Remove tops from bunched carrots for best storage. Corn is best eaten sooner than later! More coming next week! If you think you might not get to it, simply cut it off the cob and put it in a freezer bag and freeze it for later use. We’ve tried blanching and not blanching it before freezing and couldn’t tell the difference, so now we skip that step.

Ricotta again! and Antares, our cow’s milk manchego. I really like the Antares grated on eggs. And Ricotta is nice sweet or savory.
