Notes on the box.

Sweet Corn! The sooner you can eat it, the better it will taste. The sugars begin to convert to starches after its picked. You’ll be getting sweet corn for the next few weeks. If you find yourself with a sweet corn back up, you can cut the kernels off the cob and put them in a freezer bag for later use. For the first week, we generally eat as much sweet corn as possible by dropping it into boiling water for a few minutes and then putting salted butter on it. Yum!
Celery - if you are having a celery back-up you can cut it up and put it in a freezer bag to use in soups and other recipes later. We love celery in stir-fry with green beans.
Everything in the box this week is best stored in the fridge.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

Feta and Circle of the Sun. If you want to keep the feta for longer than a week, you can make a brine to keep it in. 2 tsp salt dissolved in a cup of water. Making a pizza or flatbread with feta and zucchini is my favorite.
Circle of the Sun is my personal favorite cheese to make and to eat. You can grate it on top of a quiche or casserole, or jut snack on it.
