When I picked up this week’s box of produce from the front porch, I got a whiff of something very green. Oh, yum, basil!
Today’s box from Local Roots Farm contained:
- Big bag o’ basil (the aroma when I dumped it into the bowl was amazing)
- Couple of tomatoes (the larger one was dinner tonight, with a little basil, balsamic and olive oil, some cheese and a toasted English muffin)
- Two kinds of squash (zucchini and ?)
- Bunch of rainbow chard
- Head of red butter lettuce
- Garlic!
- Red Thumb fingerling potatoes
We had a no-show again this week, so I have plenty of basil and garlic for making pesto. With locally grown hazelnuts. Yummy.
