Potluck
One of the skills I gained as a young person that I'm rather grateful for, is the ability to cook. We're having spaghetti and meatballs tonight, as it is Talk Like A Pirate Day, (for why we have pasta on Talk Like A Pirate Day, Halloween, and Festivus, see here) and I wanted a side to go with it. We had a zucchini from the farm, a small acorn squash, hot peppers, and tomatos from the garden. I decided to slice the zuchinni, top with the tomatos, peppers, squash, onions and garlic, add Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and drizzel the entire dish with olive oil. Its now baking in a 325 degree oven, and smells wonderful. I'll top it with some grated parm and serve it with the spaghetti and a nice crusty bread.

When The Farmer Gives You Radishes...
Make radish soup!
Radish soup? Whatchu talkin' about Froth?
Well, over the past two weeks, we got about a pound of radishes from our CSA. I don't dislike radishes, but this is a veggie that I, for the most part, consider a garnish. How to use it up and not have it go to waste? So I spent a few hours trolling the cooking websites and blogs, and found several recipies for radish soup. I borrowed from them all, and settled on the following:
28oz chicken broth
14 oz water
1/2 lb diakon radishes
1/2 pound red radishes
4 onions
bay leaf
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup light cream
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Slice the radishes and onions and simmer in the chicken broth, water and bay leaf for one hour. Strain the broth, return to pot. Put the solids, sans the bay leaf, in a food processor and puree. Return the veggies to the broth. Add the butter, worcestershire sauce, and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste, and heat to a simmer. Serve hot.
It was amazingly delicious!
