Time is flying by, it seems. Happily, I’ve been getting some things put by for the Dark Days. Meanwhile, here’s the bounty from the here and now, week 11 of my Sport Hill Farm CSA:
Looks a little like Christmas.
- 1 dozen ears of corn on the cob (More niblets for the Dark Days. Although I blanch it first, I hear you can freeze it raw—on or off the cob.)
- 1 brown paper bag of red tomatoes (I’ve been making lots of simple tomato salads: sliced with some basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and sprinkle of salt. Refreshing and delicious.)
- 1 bag of cherry tomatoes
- 2 cucumbers
- 3 peppers, Bianca bells, I believe
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1 bunch of collard greens (I don’t have any experience with collards to speak of and I’m thinking about using Paula Dean’s recipe.)
Whatcha been doing with all that food, Sophie? I never heard of Bianca bell peppers. What are they like?
Hi PWF. I’ve been putting most of it away for the winter. Time is tight so I had to choose between doing it or writing about it!
The Bianca bell peppers (at least that’s what I think they are) taste much like green bell peppers, but milder.
