Year Three - Week Four: First Local Corn!

Last week had cherries, this week had another long-awaited treat - the official first local sweet corn. It lasted all of 24 hours given that Wednesday was the 4th. It worked perfectly for having the folks over, and served everyone.



1 PT blueberries
1 head lettuce
1 bunch chard
2 kohlrabi
2 zucchini
1 yellow summer squash
6 ears sweet corn
1 handful garlic scapes **Last of the Season! :(**


I've used some of this up rather quickly, but most of it is left.


Blueberries: Seriously, I just shovel these in my mouth by the cupful. They don't last long at all.

Lettuce: The usual. (a.k.a. salad, salad, salad)

Chard: The chard was gifted to the folks. Still have some chard left over from a previous week...

Kohlrabi: I was filled with a sense of nostalgia when I saw these. I remember one year when we grew kohlrabi; ironically, I remember growing it, but never remembering what we did with it to eat it. So... I was excited to see it again. Then unsure of how to use it. So, in comes Mark Bittman again - and in comes stir-fry again. So, I already have a lesson for this year - if you don't know what to do with it, make a stir-fry.

Zucchini: Became zucchini boats. Well, 2.5 of them did, the other became a future side dish of zucchini stewed in marinara sauce, yummy.

Sweet Corn: Husked and right on the grill for the 4th. It was so sweet and so tender and so yummy. I hope there is more in the forecast. :)
