blooming glen crop share: 2009 09/29 week 19

(Click photo to read notes at flick’r regarding names/quantities of share.)

The Blooming Glen farmers surprised us with raspberries this week!  The crop is not yet mature enough to provide for CSA members, but they opened the bushes for gleaning.  I happily braved the wind and mud for a healthy handful of these sweet red berries.  Also new this week were sweet potatoes and celeriac, and the return of lettuce and cabbage. 

Generally, I’ve shied away from tomatillos.  They look neat, but other than salsa, I never knew what to do with them.  However, since trying the Tomatillo Soup with White Beans and Jalapeño recipe over the weekend, I was more than happy to take more tomatillos and hot peppers this week.  The soup is absolutely fantastic—enough so that I plan to put some up for the Winter months.
