CSA Week 6

This week’s box included carrots, green beans, potatoes, cucumbers, squash, and onions.

I cooked the green beans with bacon…for a really long time.  Kevin seemed to like them but the kids disagreed.  Maybe I will deep fry them next week?

Pretty sure this is an eggplant.  What the heck do I do with eggplant?

We got a huge load of peaches.  The kids were at camp so I needed a way to preserve all this fruit.  Most of the recipes I found for freezing peaches involved copious amounts of sugar.  Ya’ll, I can buy peaches drenched in syrup at the grocery store.  Instead I improvised.  I cut an ‘X’ in the bottom. Dunked them in a boiling water bath for about 45 seconds.  Then submerged them in a bowl of ice water.  The skins came off pretty easy after that process.  Then I sliced them up.  (Caution:  Peaches are as slippery as snot without the skins.  DO NOT use a really sharp knife unless you just enjoy the emergency room.)  I drizzled the slices with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown, scattered them on a cookie sheet and popped them in the freezer.  Two hours later, I dumped them into freezer bags.  The Klines will be enjoying peach smoothies in January.  Yay us!!!

This was our cheese selection for the week.  It’s a spreadable goat cheese/honey mixture.  I have no picture because I ate it too fast.

Finally, Does anyone know what this is?  Is it a squash?  Zucchini?  Squashini?
