It's a slow food day for me (as in, nothing exciting to report), so I thought I'd mix it up and show you what is in this week's CSA box one day early. (I know you've all been bursting with curiosity!)
This week's box from Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative included:
6 Ears Bi-Color Sweet Corn - Organic Willow Acres
1 Bag Red Tomatoes - Green Valley Organics
1 Bag Cured Sweet Onions - Sweetaire Farm
1 Bag Green Okra - Orchard View Organics
1 Bag Red Potatoes - Green Valley Organics
1 Pint Red Grape Tomatoes - Millwood Springs Organics
1 Bag Pickling Cucumbers - Outback Farm
1 Bunch Fennel Leaf - Noble Herbs
Argh! More tomatoes! I think this weekend I am definitely going to go into tomato-sauce making (and potentially canning) mode. What with the small bounty from our container garden and the weekly onslaught of tomatoes in our CSA boxes, we've got tomatoes out the ying-yang! Time to use them up before the fruit flies really start taking over our apartment.
And, in case you too have a fruit fly problem, here's a great way to catch the little buggers. Add about an inch of cider vinegar to the bottom of a jar. Roll up a piece of paper into a funnel shape (make sure it has a narrow opening at the bottom end), use a piece of tape to hold the funnel shape in place, and insert the funnel into the jar. Once the flies are caught, kill 'em, or release 'em far, far away. (I'm hoping that they won't find their way back inside after being released in the backyard . . . I'm not holding my breath.)
