Adventures in Agriculture

We lucked out this week - a friend is away and offered us her entire fruit and vegetable shares from the CSA.

We scored!

• bag of regular peaches
• bag of "donut" peaches

• bunch of carrots
• pint of cherry tomatoes
• several pounds of beefsteak tomatoes (possibly heirloom, definitely ugly)
• 4 smallish zucchinis
• 4 bell peppers
• 1 cantaloupe
• 1 baby watermelon (same size as the cantaloupe)
• two enormous eggplants (I weighed them, one is over 2 pounds)
• 2 heads of lettuce - one redleaf, and one is um, not

We will probably eat most of the fruit out of hand, but I will look up some recipes for galletes. I figure I will just need to make a crust and the peaches will be fine on their own

We're going to a BBQ at my parents on Saturday, so I will offer to bring a salad, taking care of the lettuce, and the cherry tomatoes. I might even bring the watermelon.

Tomatoes - I'm thinking some sauce, maybe roasting. There's not a huge amount, but it's more than I'm used to. And the eggplants - not sure. I've never made baba ganouhj successfully. An attempt yesterday was grosser than gross. Maybe I will try my hand at ratatouille.

Any suggestions?
