Week 11

We pulled all of the Walla Walla onions that had fallen over before the rain.   Having them dry and cozy in the barn gave us some peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy the rain.  There is an overhang off the living room that is roofed in metal and I love sitting out back and listening to the rain fall on the metal roof.  I enjoy it in winter as well, but it is extra nice to do it in mid August.  A little break in the heat was great, but I am happy that it warms up again a little later in the week.  Summer is so brief, I am not ready to give up on it yet!

You have a hallmark of summer in your box today - corn.  We made some delicious tacos from Rick Bayless's cookbook and I am including the recipe below since there are many of the ingredients in your box today.

Melons are starting to trickle in - should have something fun for your boxes next week.

Red Leaf Lettuce
Cucumber
Corn - The corn will be picked the morning of your pick up day.  It will keep in the fridge but corn is best eaten as soon as possible.
Cherry Tomatoes
Zucchini
Poblano Peppers - While these are on the lesser end of the spicy scale as far as chile peppers go, they do still have a bit of heat to them, particularly if you are using them in a dish where the pepper is the lead role such as chile rellenos.
Swiss Chard
Carrot - Large Only
