Our sixth basket... having fun yet?

Love you all for sponsoring our caring for these plants, against all the odds! Hope you enjoy what's in this week's basket):

And a loose tomato, not pictured...

This week every basket got:

1) One GIANT zucchini (or, a large and small one = two in total)

2) One loose 'sandwich' tomato (ripe)

3) A container with a pittance of golden cherry tomatoes as well as both a mature and a 'needs to table-ripen' slicer tomato

4) not-hot banana peppers (loose) as well as hot cousins of them (in ziplock bag)

5) Lots o' cucumbers... here's a fun recipe (named 'Mizzeria' in Polish):

    - shave cucumbers into very thin coins, peeling first if desired

    - stir in sugar (only a sprinkling), salt & pepper, a splash of white wine vinegar and either high-fat yogurt or sour cream (preference)

    - serve as salad

6) Kale

7) Eggplant

8) Beets

9) Green beans

10 (not pictured) Collard greens -- batched in bundles of 8, these can be prepared pretty much any way cabbage can -- cooked or raw. Just don't expect the same 'snappy' texture =)

As I said, it means a lot to us that you join with us in this endeavor!!! Until next week...
