The Suburban Herbivore

In week 19, we received one large acorn squash, one bunch of turnips, one bunch of French breakfast radishes, one pound of cucumbers, and one pound of Japanese eggplant. I still have the turnips from last week, so I think I’ll cook up some White Bean and Root Vegetable Gratin.

Last week at this time (week 20 of 20), we got three pounds of tomatoes (!), one pint of Sungold tomatoes (!!), a pound of eggplant, and one quarter pound of basil. Though I guess it’s not really too surprising that there were tomatoes. Second plantings can bear tomatoes into October around here, and farmer’s markets still have plenty.

It was a big week! We received four pounds of tomatoes, one pint of Sungold tomatoes, one pound of onions, a quarter-pound of basil, one pound of Japanese eggplant, one pound of red and yellow bell peppers, and one butternut squash.

I’m particularly happy about the squash, since I’m going to test out making my own baby food with it. Depending on how that goes, I may do a separate post on it. I’m also pleased about getting the eggplant. Getting a bunch of eggplant every week is not so good (for me), but having it come in every couple of weeks is perfect. The tomatoes should be winding down pretty soon, so I will have to think of something particularly good to do with these.

Last year, we got three pounds of Big Beef, Cherokee Purple, and Orange Blossom tomatoes, 2.5 pounds of potatoes, one pint of Sungold tomatoes, two large spaghetti squash, and one pound of yellow squash.
