csa day: summer rainbow and backyard eggs

There were lots of good things in the CSA box this week from Finger Pickin' Farms. 

Left to right--

Top Row: Squash and zucchini, flowers, yellow wax beans

Middle Row: Carrots, sweet peppers, chiles

Bottom row: Onions, tomatoes, cucumbers

We've also been eating these lovely eggs. K and I walked over to my cousin Ryan's house and were lucky enough to receive a dozen eggs from his backyard chickens. He's had them for a little over a year now and seems to really like them and the eggs they lay. He said the heat has slowed down their egg-laying, but that in cooler weather he has more eggs than he knows what to do with. Seems like I should visit him more often, huh? Especially since these eggs have the orangest yolks I've ever come across.

Things on the menu this week:

*Homemade pasta with squash, tomatoes, and walnuts

*Baked tofu, roasted potatoes, and yellow beans in cream sauce

*Japanese curry over mashed potatoes

*Quinoa pilaf with feta, mint, and squash

*Homemade peach ice cream
