CSA Newsletter ~ Week 14

Cool evenings and some cooler day time temperatures and it is finally starting to feel like September!
We had a bit of rain last week.  Tuesday evening through to Wednesday we saw just under 1/2" of rain and sadly the storm that was meant to be here on Saturday just seemed to roll in and roll over and was full of lots of wind but not much more than that! Our total rain fall from Saturday to Sunday was two tenths of an inch! Here's hoping we get some more on Wednesday. 


This week basket:
Garlic
Leeks - Leek and feta fritters
Potatoes - This recipe also uses leeks! Kale and Potato cakes
Beets - Chocolate beetroot brownies
Onions
Kohlrabi
Ground Cherries
Sweet Peppers
Kale - Kale and potato soup
Beans
Zucchini (If we do not have enough for the whole week it will be replaced with the last of the eggplant) Thank you to some of our CSA members who have been sending me recipes. Lisa sent in a great zucchini lasagna and  Irene sent in this great recipe that you can use up your eggplant and her top tip is to also add some zucchini and roast both the eggplant and zucchini as it uses less oil and has a richer taste!  Pasta alla Norma
Tomatoes - Enjoy these as we think this will be the last week!
and maybe some Braising Greens
