watermelon-radish
Whoa! This week’s box of vegetables from Two Small Farms contained a bunch of watermelon radishes, which are somewhat plain looking on the outside, but quite amazing on the inside. But frankly, they are also a challenge for me to use – we don’t eat a lot of raw radishes, and somehow I ended up with two bunches. Here are a couple ways I will consider using them this week:
Watermelon Radish Pickles from the Garden of Eating
Pickled Daikon and Watermelon Radishes from Lisa is Cooking
The rest of our box contained Fingerling Potatoes, Salad Mix, Chives, Red Tropea Onions, Delicata Squash, Yellow Carrots, Cabbage and Strawberries. For our family dinner, here is the rest of my plan for the week of September 28, 2009:
Monday: Pommes Anna, green salad, grilled London broil, roasted Red Tropea Onions
Tuesday: Healthy Mac and Cheese (includes Delicata Squash), green salad
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Smoked pork chops (from Dittmers), sauerkraut and cabbage, green salad, bread
Friday: Take out and movie night

Thats a beautiful vegetable.
We’re so tired of eating chicken so I was looking forward to MPM today. There’s lots of inspiration from the participants.
I’m also looking for ways to save since my husband is underemployed and I’m unemployed.
I’m watching Army Wives Sunday episode online. Do you watch the show?
Ooh, that healthy mac and cheese looks great. I still have my delicata squash and figured I could just roast em, but this sounds like more fun.
I did end up sticking with the CSA, by the way. We really like it and didn’t want to give it up. We found a friend to share it with, though. That way we’re sure no food goes to waste!
Oh p.s. Did you ever figure out what to do with the spicy cayenne peppers? I still have em and I’m at a loss. I’m going to look into making hot sauce, but I’m still open to ideas!

oh, I bailed on the cayenne peppers! I guess I could have roasted them and put them together with some of the fresh tomatoes for a quick salsa, but they caught me on a bad week….
Glad to hear you are still subscribing, only a couple weeks left in the season and then we have to put the Farmer’s Markets back on our grocery route…
