One more item...
Tomatoes - we started picking tomatoes this week, but there were only enough for you all to get roughly a pound. There are plenty more in your future, in all shapes, sizes and colors! Now begins my favorite tomato sandwich season: slices of tomato, cucumbers and onion with mayonnaise. Mmmmm...
Potatoes - We started digging potatoes this week, we did not wash them because they are so new their skins aren't very thick, and washing the dirt off would also wash the skins off. Just rinse before use. These are a variety called Carolla (very much like a yukon gold). They are great fried, roasted or boiled/mashed. Every year I forget how awesome our potatoes are compared to the store-bought ones. Yum!
Cabbage - this will be the last head of cabbage in your boxes for this season. We have been making lots of coleslaw.... shred the cabbage, and put it in a bowl with some chopped onion, and cucumber (or any other crunchy veggie you may have, like carrots or sweet peppers). Add just enough mayo and vinegar to coat all the ingredients, add salt and pepper and refrigerate.
