I found this picture on Sam’s camera: it’s a vegetable torta I made weeks ago. Wasn’t it pretty?<\/p>\n

This week seems to be going better than the last one. My cellphone actually revived itself after a few days, and we got our vegetables yesterday. I have to admit I had a pang of sadness when I saw chard in the box. Is summer over already? Not that I don’t like<\/em> chard&#8212I do—but I know from last year that it’s going to be chard and kale all through the winter.<\/p>\n

There were still tomatoes, though, so that’s<\/em> nice and summery. Our late summer vegetable box included, in full, a bag of grapes, a bundle of thyme, a bunch of chard, a pint of figs, a pint of cherry tomatoes, six heirloom tomatoes, a small eggplant, three zucchinis, four peaches, and five yellow sweet peppers.<\/p>\n

Robin has already eaten all the grapes, and we had the cherry tomatoes for lunch yesterday, mixed into a box of macaroni and cheese. For dinner last night I made shrimp-and-sausage gumbo, using the big tomatoes and the sweet peppers (and okra, of course; I’m still craving okra and I guess I’d better start shoveling it in for as long as it’s available).<\/p>\n

Pros: The gumbo was delicious. I think I’ll put up the recipe in another post, maybe after I get Sam to take a picture of it.
\nCons: There is enough gumbo to last us the rest of the week, if we eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<\/p>\n

I think we’ll have it again later this week and then I’ll freeze whatever’s left. Tonight we’re going to have baked potatoes and sauteed chard; I need something quick and easy since we’re going out to look at houses tonight (SIGH). I’ll make fig bars<\/a> during the day today.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow night, leftover gumbo; Saturday, glazed chicken breasts and rice; Sunday, baba ghanoush, pita bread, and dolmades<\/a>; Monday, a big salad with roasted beets and ears of fresh corn; Tuesday, spaghetti bolognese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
