August week 3



Yeah! This week little new potatoes were back. We adore those. Along with butternut squash, a melon, bunches of basil, peppers and onions, mint, purslane, hot peppers and a lone cucumber. It's almost time for back to school here so our schedule has been crazy plus it's been 100 for the last few weeks and that is just too hot to go near the stove!

I did get to most of this weeks offering, using the squash and some onions in a delish thrown together curry dish. I'm learning to love anything with indian flavors. Then I made a big batch of pesto and used it for a Jamie Oliver inspired dish of pasta with sliced potatoes and green beans with pesto sauce. Turned out pretty great. The mint and cuke and purslane were meant for a salad I found but I have yet to make it. Going to raid the fridge this morning and see if they have survived their two weeks in plastic in the crisper. Wish me luck :)

I made a huge batch of sauteed onions and peppers to use them all up at once and have just kept it in a jar in the fridge and used in various meals, on a sandwich for lunch, tucked into an omelette, etc. Nice to have them ready to go whenever I want and they've stayed good in a mason jar in the fridge.

Looking forward to seeing what cooler weather in Sept will bring us.
