CSA Week 12

For this week’s share, we’re splitting yet another watermelon. They are unbelievably delicious and I don’t think I will ever want to have anything to do with grocery store watermelon in the future. I also got a yellow bell pepper and a bunch of swiss chard. Elsewhere at Waverly, I picked up a few more heirloom tomatoes and a half pound of arugula. This week I’m planning to do some flatbread pizzas with most of the veggies, and probably work the arugula into sandwiches for lunch.

Last week, I had gotten a quart of half and half from South Mountain Creamery, mainly because I needed it for coffee when I got home and didn’t want to have to go back out. Thank heaven for my recent laziness–I don’t think I’ve ever had half and half that’s this creamy. It’s a good thing the price is comparable to getting it at the grocery store, because I’m a convert now, and will probably try their milk soon. Mostly, I use milk in my baking, so I’m not sure I’ll make that switch as well, but we’ll see.
