I'm stressed out.
There is no room in my little city fridge and my recipes aren't using enough of the share!
It probably doesn't help either that I took this on knowing that Chris would dutifully try my veggie-based creations, throw a nod of approval my way, and then take a hike down to Jim's Steaks to satisfy the manbeast in him.
Anyway, this week I so kindly donated half this share to my mother-in-law. Hah. Take that! Not that it was a punishment, this share was. so. good. But a suburban-sized fridge should be a prerequisite for these kind of weeks. It's the kind of deceit that a farmer and/or farm share member probably know quite well. I've read about the squash wars in the south. Where if you don't lock your car, you may wind up with a paper bag full of squash that you'll have to do something with. It's like leaving a baby on a doorstep. It's a sad sacrifice, but you know someone else with less on their hands might be able to care for it the way the little bundle deserves.
I've even started tricking friends into coming over for dinner. At first they might think it's just a Phillies game and a couple beers they might be getting themselves into, but next thing you know... grab a plate.
The other reason for my donation is that I still had ample leftovers from last week, and so you'll see with the following recipes.../
