Box Contents July 10, 2009

This week's box contains:

• Basil
• Romaine Lettuce (traded for additional basil)
• Strawberries
• Summer Squash
• Cauliflower
• Walla Walla Onions
• Scallions
• Fennel
• Green Beans

With a double batch of basil, it's pesto time...

Tomorrow is fun with friends, time to get away from the work week stress and relax a bit. The plan is to dig out the Slip N' Slide Wave Rider Double then cook a fine, veggie based meal. Here's what I have in mind:

• Sauteed Padrón peppers: We've got a bag from the farmer's market last weekend. Just sautee them in Spanish olive oil with a bit of salt.
  

• Pasta with Cauliflower: We've got 3 very small heads of cauliflower on hand and now one more -- full size.

• Grilled Squash and Onions with Pesto: Clean and thickly slice the summer squash and Walla Walla onions from the box; slather with fresh pesto.

• Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar: Sounds odd if you've not tried it, but is really sublime.
