Week 5's basket... and special thanks to Doro!!!

Hey ya'll! Check out this awesome share's contents:

The only 'option' this week is beans or broccoli... either u got one, or you got the other, so decide -- and don't be sad one way or the other! =P RE: Tom's, well everyone got a mix of ripe now, and ripe in a few days... recall the rapid ripening trick, whereby you leave unripened tomatoes in a paper bag with either bananas (best) or old apples (better) for a couple days, to get full color (and flavor) out of a tom!

For people in on the beef share, this week I put T-bone steaks in there, approx. 2 lbs (so no cut for next week)... OMG so gooooood! And, an update on eggs -- our ladies are laying 6-8 per day again now, so... tragedy averted, and we no longer need to source from other ethical, local laying operations. Yaaaay self-sufficiency!!!

Next week we should have staghorn sumac seedheads (for making homemade, native-to-NA lemonade) and also okra. I'll have a recipe to share ;) It's been such a pleasure, bringing you goodness out of our garden, week after week... until next time!

Finally, a special thanks to Doro, who had the optional Dahlia flowers for this share, and was absolutely essential (due to me having a full day of work at the Franklin School today) to the shares being put together. Doro, you are AMAZING, and the best life-partner I could ever hope for!!!!! =)
