Half a pound of basil is a LOT of basil! I have no doubt that I could use it all myself, but I suppose I should give our friends who are sharing the share their share. Heh. We also received a cauliflower, a small red cabbage, some dill, two zucchini, four yellow squash, four cucumbers, 3/4 pound green beans, and two onions with the greens attached. It’s a pretty good haul, and I remain really happy with the shares so far this year.
I placed a quarter on top of the cauliflower for scale before taking this photo. This is a trick that I picked up in my geology classes – though they tended to use a pick-axe or lens cap or a person.
My husband is already planning to make pickles this weekend. I may ask him to do a guest post about that. I actually have a couple ideas of what I want to do with the cabbage. Dill is one of those herbs that confounds me a little. It’s very good in omelets. I haven’t used it for much else, and am open to ideas…

As for the dill, it’s always good in a sour cream or yogurt dressing for a cucumber salad. It also works well with sauteed potatoes. Another idea would be to make some bread with it. Hope this helps.
Hey, I want some of those pickles.
last night I made pasta with squash, zucchini, onion and basil, with a cucumber salad with oil, vinegar and basil. Tonight I suppose I have to kill off those beans.
