Well folks, we are at the half way mark for our farm shares. The time is really flying by and I am having a lot of fun working with the awesome variety of vegetables that we receive each week. If you are not yet a member of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), I encourage you to do so. My Links page has several links that can help you find CSA’s in your area.

Today, we received red beets, bell peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, mixed baby greens, onions and patty pan squash. The tomatoes are a source of concern for me as they are a bit soft already which puts pressure on me to use them quickly. Like tonight. Or now. I may have to stop by the market and get some ground beef and beans and make some chili. This dish will also help me use the bell peppers, onions and tomatillos. Actually, I could even put the patty pan squash in the chili. Wow, that doesn’t leave me much vegetables to work with for the rest of the week…

Here are the photos. We bought a new digital SLR camera last weekend and these are the first photos we’ve shot with it. We (and by “we”, I mean my husband) are still learning how to use the camera with all of its settings and lenses and whatnot. Can you see a difference between today’s pics and the pics from previous weeks? Personally, I see the difference in the bottom photo in that the patty pans are nice and clear and you can even see the wrinkles in the skin of the tomato to the right of the patty pans.
