What lies ahead?
by CourtneySherwood on Jul.18, 2009, under Uncategorized
Am I hosting this week, or is Dan? Anyhow, I’m not logging on with a recipe right now, just some details on the abundant vegetables at my disposal.
I have:
- cabbage (small, bright green head)
- one fennel bulb with fronds
- lots of sweet onions (Walla Walla)
- carrots
- broccoli
- green beans
- LOTS of new potatoes – red and yellow
- A good number of delicious tomatoes, bursting with ripeness.
I also have some beets, but I think I’ll be eating them tonight on my own.
I’ll be on the hunt for recipes that might take advantage of this cornucopia, and I might post some ideas in the comments later today. If any of you have thoughts, this would be a good place to share, too. Or if any of you have abundant produce you’d like to contribute.

That sounds like everything needed for a red or yellow curry, to me!

In addition to several of the things above, I’ve got green onion, snap peas, mustard greens and, as usual, way more lettuce than I can keep up with.
My only thought is a plea for us to hold part of tomorrow’s event outdoors. I haven’t eaten enough sunshine yet this summer.
Last week’s picnic attempt transmuted into a meal at Bethany’s place, so I think it’s still Dan’s turn to host/coordinate if he’s up for it.
I’m still sort of hoping for berry-picking before SNDC in the next few weeks. If anyone else is interested, please let me know and I’ll take another shot at pulling together a plan.

By the way, is it just me or is this tempting? It’s outdoors in near NE and starts at 5 p.m. on Sunday 7/19, Saturday 7/25 and Sunday 7/26.

OK, I just posted a plan while everyone was writing these comments (which I didn’t see until after I posted).
How about we make the soup at my place and then take it to Laurelhurst Park to eat?
