CSA Weekly Report: Red Earth Farm
Tuesday, August 28, 2007
This week’s CSA share:
Arugula-- 2 bags. One bag was a substitution for an item I had requested that was unavailable. Perhaps I’ll use one bag for a salad, and one bag for a saute.
Spaghetti Squash
Swiss Chard
Slicing Tomatoes-- both red and yellow.
Cucumbers-- thinking of making my mom’s wakame and cucumber salad with these.
Peaches (from the buying club)-- probably the last of the season.
Oak Shade Cheese Horseradish Cheddar (from the buying club)-- made from a dairy farm near the CSA. Has a nice zing of horseradish to it.

Hey-- you got it. I’m happy to oblige-- as long as the items weren’t already eaten and gone. 
Actually, the cheese can be pretty much summed up thus: take a good, sharp cheddar, and blend it with a tangy horseradish, and you got what it tastes like. Great on its own, or with crackers.
I can’t seem to find out a lot of information about Oak Shade Cheese, except that they’re located in Lancaster County, and the proprietor is Amish.

I’d love to see a post on the wakame and cucumber salad if you make it - that sounds yummy! And I’d love to hear about the cheese! Yeah, I’m not demanding or anything. Heh!
