| Ripe Heirloom Tomatoes |
September is here, warm and golden. At last the weather on the central CA coast is warm…for a few weeks, we hope. The first of our CSA’s Gala apples are in, and they taste like sweet ambrosia. Our own apple tree is producing tart apples of an unknown variety (we’ve only been here since last Nov.) I’d like to try to duplicate my long-deceased grandmother’s apple cake, and looks like there will be plenty of apples to try with different recipes. Bumper crop of tomatoes (finally ripe after a cool summer) is perfect for pasta sauce variations. Recipes to be posted soon!
I tried making the carrot pancakes last week. They tasted good but texture left something to be desired. Back to the drawing (or perhaps the cutting) board!
This week’s veggies:
Gala apples
Asian stir-fry mix
Carrots
Chard
Green beans
Lettuce
Radishes
Summer squash
Sweet peppers
