It dawned on me today that my share is almost over for the year! I can hardly believe it! To be honest, it's kind of sad. I've had a great time learning how to cook new things and I hope I can keep the momentum going during the winter time. I think this little experiment has given me a lot of confidence in the kitchen and if/when I try out any new exciting dishes, I'll try to share them with you. In fact - I went apple picking over the weekend and was asked specifically to post the outcome of my future apple pie so look for that soon!
Before I go over what came in the share this week, I wanted to update you on a recipe reboot! I got a few green tomatoes in my share awhile back and I decided I would go back and retry my Fried Green Tomatoes and bake them in the oven instead of my failed experiment trying to fry them in a pan. YOU GUYS - THEY WERE GREAT! I followed the recipe the same way it was written, but baked them in a glass dish for 20 minutes (flipping half way through) at 350 degrees. So there you go - baked green tomatoes are fantastic.
This week my share included:
- Cilantro
- Jalapeno Peppers
- Sugar Pumpkin
- Sweet Potatoes
- Tatsoi
- Tomatoes
- Turnip Greens (in the bag)
Perhaps the saddest part of the end of my share is that it means the end of my veggie people. I know they're completely ridiculous and silly, but I love making them and it gives people (my coworkers especially) a little laugh every Wednesday. Anyway, this week I couldn't help but choose the Sugar Pumpkin. I was really excited about it...until I realized that there's nothing NEW about putting a face on a pumpkin! People do it every October so I would need to do something really different to make it worthwhile. So here's my fun take - Peter Pumpkin!
