Here’s a nice note from our friend Veral and her family…

Hi Margie,

Hope you are doing well…we have enjoyed our vegetables.

You asked in your weekly letter (which I really enjoy reading) about how we would fix the carrots.  First of all, the carrots were very tasty.  I sliced them & put them in a rice dish I was preparing about 5 or 10 minutes before cooking  was complete. I make this dish like my mom used to fix rice a roni except that I use brown rice, olive oil and my own seasonings (and sauteed onions).  Sometimes, I even add green lentils.

When I was running out of time when fixing dinner one night, I did the same with the zucchini and I put a little Smart Balance over them for flavor.

Also, Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the hydroponic arugula and the watercress.  They were tasty and they seem to last longer which was good for us.

The grape tomatoes were really good.  And the cabbage was really outstanding.  I  noticed that the cabbage was large but sweet (even when raw).    I have eaten raw cabbage that has had a bitter taste.  But not this cabbage.  It was good.

So, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you, to you and the farmers who bring us all this healthy food.  Appreciate your efforts.

Kind regards,

Verel, Tony, and Tony Zin

This is not your usual doughnut, made of flour and sugar and deep fried before it is hosed down with more sugar.  This is a crazy little chinese eggplant from the harvest this week.  It might look familiar to one of you.  We photographed it and sorted it into one of your deliveries.

Every week or so, when we come across a strange formation of food, we are going to share the image with you.  Sometimes just looking at this beautiful fruit is great fun.  A few weeks ago, I came across two carrots that had grown twisted together from top to bottom.  They were a very romantic pair. One of you also received the special carrots.

Maybe I am just food-crazy, but I thought you all might be just as interested as I am in silly formations to the food.  Who knows what next week will bring us!?

Got a wonderful recipe from our friend Becky Striepe that uses two of our basket items this week…

Hey Margie!

I thought I’d share this recipe with you that I made with last week’s sorrel and garlic.  It came out really well, and it’s totally vegan, too!  You could really use any fresh herbs and any nuts or seeds, so pesto is a great dish for summer when fresh herbs are in season.

I can’t wait to see the new site! It sounds like it’s going to be awesome. 

Take care,
Becky

This was such a creative and touching note I received from a recent client.  I just loved the illustration and wanted to share it with you.  Sometimes the things you share with me give me so much energy to keep doing what I do.

I love what you have to say to me so much that I thought you should all know what a loving community we are all sharing.  This category will become a collection of the wonderful, heartfelt cards & notes that I receive.  Please keep them coming!

Please remeber as you eat your selections during the week, you are part of a shared community and all of us dining with Vegetable Husband are also consciously joining a larger community of Georgia local eaters also enjoying the same variety of food.
