Dreaming of Simplicity

 Today was farm day here is what was in our share

4 cucumbers

2 zucchini

1 summer squash

two tomatoes

choice of cabbage or cauliflower (I picked cabbage because I got broccoli last time and it was too full of critters for my taste)

1 onion of your choice (I picked purple)

beets, radishes or kale (I picked beets plus there was a box of extra beets which I took some of)

basket of blue berries which I snacked on on the way home

bag of string beans

red leaf lettuce

new potatoes

choice of cilantro or basil (got basil)

two big homemade pickles

a new style of goat cheese we have not tried yet

 I think that is it.

Today's Local items on my menu included goat cheese and cucumbers at lunch, lettuce at dinner. Also the blueberries I snacked on.

I made a nice sauce to put in the freezer with onions, garlic, fresh chopped up tomatoes, olive oil and salt and pepper. This will become a sauce or will go into a soup some day.

 I also put some organic leeks in the freezer for fall soups.

I dried bluebrries which took two days.

I have some basil that needs to be dried this weekend.

Sounds great! I can't believe that I didn't think to dry my blueberries~ I had to do something quickly so in the freezer (and into jam) they went!
