2010 Season Update

The 2010 season has been off to a great start. In the northeast, we have had a long streak of hot, dry weather which is a stark contrast to the 2009 season which was cold and rainy through all of June and into July. Unfortunately for me, I have been without a stove or oven for over a month now, which is why there hasn't been much posted. But - lucky for oven-less me and all of you, the first month of the CSA season is mostly greens which are great for salads. We have been making big hearty salads with lots of different lettuces - escarole, spinach, green solix lettuce, red tide lettuce, romaine, boston lettuce and cabbages. Two weeks ago one of my favorite items arrived which made the salads that much better - sugar snap peas! This week we got a good amount of summer squash and I am ready with many different squash recipes for the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned!

Also, fruit deliveries started last week - currants, blueberries, cherries, gooseberries (a new one!), and peaches... recipes to come!
