Summer Storm

So, the heat has broken at last (for now). Hopefully the farm has gotten its much-needed rain and all the tomatoes and swiss chard plants will perk up and get growing. Just a reminder that this blog also hopes to be a place for all Community Farm members (and other local food enthusiasts) to see what we're cooking this week and to swap ideas and inspiration. All are welcome!

This week's share:
1 lb kale and collards
5 radishes
1 bunch beets
5 green onions
1 strong lettuce
4 mild lettuce
1 bunch arugula
1/2 head cabbage
2 baby zucchini

Menu:
Greens in Peanut Sauce p. 195 Simply in Season
Split Pea and Zucchini Soup p. 30 The Best Ever Vegetarian Cookbook
Beet and Cabbage and Beet Green Salad adapted from p. 184 From Asperagus to Zucchini
Summer Storm Salad with lettuce, arugula, green onions, and radishes

Hope everyone is ready for a good holiday!
