Landisdale Farm CSA, week seven

csa3

Yesterday’s CSA share from Landisdale Farm included:

  • Two heads of lettuce
  • six small to medium yellow squash
  • six small to medium potatoes
  • two bulbs of garlic
  • six peaches
  • two small bags of spinach

Considering how hot its been, I’m a little surprised to see lettuce and spinach still being included in the CSA - I would have thought all of that would be bolted by now.  Certainly, the spinach I planted in the garden this year - a heat tolerant variety - went to seed over a month ago.  I can only hope the lettuce stops coming in the CSA share.  Most of it only ends up in the compost pile anyway.

I suspect my husband will eat the peaches as soon as they ripen up a bit.  And I’m going to have to cook all the spinach down today - it’s looking a little iffy.  Which leaves me with a small bit of garlic, a couple of potatoes, and a few yellow squash.  A frittata or torta comes to mind, but I did find some other ideas (which will sadly use all the potatoes and squash in a single meal - this share does not seem to be able to feed a family of four, as advertised):
