Box Contents August 7, 2009: Strawberries and Mangoes

This week's box contains:

• Sweet Corn
• Tomatoes
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Fennel
• Romanesco
• Strawberries
• Scallions
• Red Leaf Lettuce

The fennel was quickly converted into roasted fennel tartines, the cherry tomatoes and romanesco into panzanella. Corn consumed out of hand and the strawberries macerated in ice wine with mango.
