Saturday September 12
Good morning
A rainy day? Seems like it's really been a long time since it's rained. One thing i like about a rainy day is that i can get stuff done in the house and not feel guilty. There is always so much to do out there, there still is, but some jobs can't be done in the rain so the list is shorter today and i can accept that. It's only 8:30 and i've already done dishes, laundry and supper is marinating and now a little time to look back at my week.
In your baskets this week:
Potatoes
Carrots
Bok Choy
Zucchini
Beans
Extra Greens: Baby Kale, Napa leaves and a cucumber
September is a month abundant in beans, lots of beans. It also used to be the time when i went back to work and worried about all the beans i was not picking. Seems kinda silly now but boy did that used to stress me out! I am grateful to be a full time farmer now where i can almost keep up with them beans.
My favourite way to cook beans is still Michael Smiths recipe Brown Butter Beans :it calls for almonds sometimes i replace them with herbs such as sage or savoury. http://chefmichaelsmith.com/recipe/brown-butter-green-beans-with-toasted-almonds/

Last Fall i grew Bok Choy and have become huge fan. I have 3 kinds i am going this year. Some of you got baby and others big. I love Bok Choy with flavours such as ginger, soy and peanut oil!
