What’s in the box?

romaine lettuce
leaf lettuce (large)
carrots
tomatoes
broccoli (medium and large)
radishes
onions
green beans
peppers (medium and large)
delicata squash
greens mix
basil
cilantro (large)

Notes on the box.

Store onions, tomatoes, basil, and delicata squash outside of the fridge. (you can store basil in the fridge, but it’s super important to keep the leaves dry. I find it easier to keep it in a glass of water like a bouquet of flowers.) If you are going to cook with the tomatoes, you can keep them in the fridge till you get to them. If you are getting backed up with tomatoes and want to have some to add to chili and things in the winter, you can cut out the stem and put the whole tomato in a freezer bag and keep it in the freezer! You can take them out and add them whole to soups or chili. When they thaw and heat up in the pot, the skin will come off and you can take it out and mash up the rest of the tomato as it cooks. It takes some freezer space, but it’s quick and easy if you aren’t into canning or making sauce to freeze.
Remove tops from radishes and carrots for storage. If you make pesto, you can add radish greens to it to help keep the color nice and to add a little zing!

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.

This week we have our very popular Garlic Dill Quark. It’s great on crackers, as a dip for veggies, as a spread on veggie sandwich, on bread with sliced radishes, or on scrambled eggs or baked salmon! It’s really good on anything.
The aged cheese is an aged Jack style cheese. Also great on sandwiches or to make nachos, or just snack on.
