Eat your vegetables

Another trip to the Luray Farmers' Market this weekend, checking out the crops that are really starting to peak - almost every booth had something home grown this weekend. So I thought to start the week with a post about the market, then we'll get back to the Page County economic plan tomorrow.

Of course, we had to stop by Public House Produce (see previous post at http://hawksbillcabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-ate-mr-burners-cow.html) to see what the shares included this week. Here are some photos of squash, eggplants and green beans that made up part of the CSA distribution for the week. There will be corn next week...here is a link to their site: http://www.publichouseproduce.com/ .

Mary and I were late to the game, and didn't participate in the CSA program, but we may in the future - we freelanced a purchase this week, as shown here. Mary's going to put together a ratatoille - and I don't mean a Pixar animated film.

As we were getting the low down, Heather and David told us that they try to include a recipe or two with the share distribution. In the past weeks, there was an especially bountiful batch of zucchini squash, for example, so members sometimes need suggestions on what to cook. For these occasions, they'll refer to a cookbook like this one for a recipe to share: Simply In Season (World Community Cookbook) .
