Week 16/22

--And that's it! I can't believe we've still got 6 weeks to go! Should be interesting getting into the late Summer/early Autumn crops to see what we get.

The farm our CSA is through lost their first two crops of corn to weather, so unfortunately we haven't gotten ANY corn from them. That's a bummer, but hey, helping farms through disasters like that is part of why we DO CSAs, right? They've given us more than enough stuff to make up for it.

As you can see, these past few weeks have been VERY tomato and pepper-heavy. Since Amy doesn't like red pasta sauce, there's not much we could cook to easily go through that volume of tomatoes before they go bad... so I've been making a lot of fresh salsa! Taking a HUGE batch to a potluck at work tomorrow, actually.
