CSA pickup week 16 of 20

[gina_r_snape]

Well, the CSA season is winding down. Just four more to go after this week. I'm not feeling well today, throat is scratchy and I've got a slight cough. I hope it doesn't blossom into a full blown chest cold, but I have a feeling it might. Good thing my list this week has lots of vitamin C.

Corn
Cilantro
Lettuce - two kinds
Beets
Bok Choi

Macintosh Apples
Grannysmith Apples

(We also got collard greens but I swapped them with my share partner for the entire share of beets)

I now have a stockpile of apples, and even eating one a day I can't get through them all. So I am going to take a cue from sketchybrunette and try my hand at her Apple Butter recipe, what I bookmarked a few weeks ago.

I'm debating whether to make borscht or just roast the beets and eat as is. The last time I had beets I put them in a risotto that looked like an interesting recipe, but turned out to be terrible (too sweet for my taste). Maybe a roasted beet salad is in order. Oh, decisions decisions!

I am also thinking to make corn fritters at some point, as I've got so much corn in my fridge. I've been adding it to beans and salads. But there's just so much of it. I've got a nice recipe for Indian lentil fritters with cilantro. Maybe I'll add the corn to that.

And I still have an eggplant from last week that will either wind up in some pasta or become a bowl of baba ganoush.

Thoughts, flist?
