My Farm Share Week 8

Holy Moly, I can not believe it has already been 8 weeks… the time has really flown by! My husband (the sweetest man in the world) told me last night that he is really impressed with my ability to creatively use all of the vegetables in the short span of 6-7 days. I am equally impressed with my ability to get him to eat these vegetables!
Today’s farm share had some new and exciting additions to our familiar repertoire. As my husband walked in the door with our box, he exclaimed “We’ve got dinosaur-sized vegetables this week!”. I immediately ran to the box to investigate. We received 2 of the largest tomatoes I have ever seen. They must weigh 1 pound each! We also received a large ear of corn (let’s hope it’s edible this time), 2 eggplants, 4 summer squash, 3 tomatillos, a bag of baby arugula, 7 Middle Eastern cucumbers, pole beans and a bunch of red beets.
Here are some photos:

It all looks wonderful, especially those tomatoes. I’m envious! Shame that there’s only one ear of corn though.
I was too lazy to go down to Union Sq. this weekend, and went to the Lincoln Center farmer’s market instead … I’m sorry to say that both the corn and tomatoes I purchased there were less than spectacular. That’s what I get for being lazy!

Your share boxes always look wonderful! Such a bountY and abundance in one box. It’s great!
