Tomatoes galore, everyone.
We have a couple of exceptional-type things to mention: 1) basil somehow suffered from being kept partially in water prior to sharebasket-building... this was an experiment that I thought would give crisper leaves for leaf-based nom-noms, and which has helped some (kale and chard) but seems to have offended others (basil)... so I tried to give anyone with the strange, wilted-black (usually happens if you store too cold) basil leaves a few extra snippings. 2) We didn't have enough huge zucchini for everyone to get a whole one, so we sliced them in half.
Outside of that, we've got: cherry and slicing tomatoes, Mexican guerkens (like tiny, slightly sour cucumbers), bell as well as serrano/Belgian peppers (sweet to mildly spicy), cucumber, zucchini, New Zealand spinach, kale, beets, and chard. Plenty to get yourself in trouble with!
For byperlocal beef add-on peeps, there was an option of top round or shoulder roast cuts, all weighing in over 3lbs (2lbs min. every two weeks is what we promised)... I think basket #9 will have about 1lb of sirloin steaks, for all members, as a great way to end the celebration of our two veal rescue boys on a high note!
Please send me any fun recipes you discover, along the way to getting the very most out of your basket this week :)
best,
Matt
