Firstly - I must apologize that I don't have a picture of this weeks' haul. I immediately called much of it into action before Doebtown could snap a picture. With the big birthday party last weekend we used quite a bit of it.

We got:
- Zucchini
- Strawberries
- Sugar Snap Peas
- Tomatoes
- Red Leaf Lettuce
- Kale
- Spring Onions

I immediately used the lettuce, onions and tomatoes in the green salad we served at the party. We chopped the strawberries in a strawberry/blueberry blend (2 of Libby's 3 favorite fruits) for her party.

I just tonight grilled a little of the zucchini and I still haven't used the sugar snaps!

Since we liked the Kale chips but weren't blown over by it, we thought we'd try another recipe - sauteed sesame and garlic Kale (you have to look half way down the page to see the recipe - it opens a PDF doc.
Let me give you two cents about this recipe - don't go heavy on the soy sauce - really just leave it at ONE teaspoon. And when the recipe says "Salt and Pepper to taste" you should reallllllly taste it before you salt it. I didn't do either of those things and it was SO salty it was inedible.

The thing about sauteed kale though is that it holds up to sauteing much better than spinach. I hate hot spinach because it gets all slimy and gross. But Kale stays pretty tough. I hope we get more kale so I can try that recipe again.

Picked up today's batch and already I'm starting to think that it's a pretty good thing we didn't get the large share. It's surprising how much this backs up!
