Summer Staples

Today's share is a solid mix of summer staples: romaine, basil, squash, cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes. There's little need to cook with fresh vegetables like these. In fact I'll probably be eating the tomatoes, carrots and cucumbers without as much as a fork or knife to help out. The lettuce will get plucked and washed, I'll probably pound the basil into a paste with a mortar and pestle adding some olive oil, and I really do prefer the squash cut into thin rounds and sautéed in olive oil. That pounded basil with oil will go nicely over the squash, or lettuce, maybe even the leftover potatoes from last week. I'm getting hungry writing this. Back out to the field for a little weed patrol before deliveries.
