It still seems odd to write 'September'...where did summer go? Except for the heat of last week, it hasn't seemed super 'summery' this year! Because I put the chickens to bed most nights, I've certainly noticed that it's getting darker much earlier in the evenings!
It seems odd, too, that the Winter Squash is starting to come on strong...and we've hardly had any ripe tomatoes, yet. However, we soooo love Winter Squash that we're still excited! Forget canned pumpkin - bake the squash you'll be getting and use it for pies, muffins and cookies, as well as side dishes and entrees. As a matter of fact, here's a nice recipe for Pumpkin Molasses Cookies! Today everyone is getting a spaghetti squash...quite unique in the Winter Squash world in that, when baked, the flesh comes out like spaghetti. You can serve it with pasta sauce or salsa, or I like it with lots of butter and a touch of maple syrup! Full and Part Shares are getting a buttercup squash - a lovely version with a nutty flavor! Would be as good in that cookie recipe as pumpkin, giving a bit more, hmmm, almond flavor!
Amanda and Ed have brought the last pick of their corn. Small cobs, but still good; they've got a pale outside! We're adding the first pick of our corn, bright green wrapping! Amanda and Ed also brought a few more Armenian cucumbers as well as herbs and onions!
With back-to-school and back-to-work foremost on people's minds here's a great link for healthy lunches! Please note the zucchini sticks....Here's a great recipe for a spinach-stuffed crookneck - sounds yummy!
So, in today's boxes:
FULL SHARES: Spaghetti squash, Buttercup winter squash, zucchini, crookneck squash, Moroccan squash, onions, corn, garlic, cucumbers, Sangre potatoes, carrots, herb either savory or dill.
