Happy Thursday! Here's what's in the box this week:
-Leaf lettuce or Romaine lettuce
-Zucchini
-Yellow Squash
-Cucumbers
-Ugly Turnips*
*Okay, about these turnips... They are, for some reason, super ugly, but they taste just fine! As long as you peel the skin they are totally normal on the inside. We aren't winning any beauty contests here, we're all about flavor!!
Turnip Home Fries
Ingredients:
Small bunch turnips
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Dash Cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
2-4 tbsp Parmesan
Directions:
Preheat oven 425 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel turnip, cut into 1/4 inch matchsticks or cubes and place in a medium bowl.
Toss turnip with olive oil, and add the remaining seasonings. Transfer the seasoned turnips on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes or until they are done, turning halfway. Serve immediately.
So this happened this week: the new barn is up! Well, the majority of it is anyway. When it's finished, it will house the chickens, ducks, and geese, as well as my horses and donkeys. And of course the chicken's bodyguards, a.k.a. my Great Pyrenees dogs Odin and Luna. There's still a bit of work to be done, but it's getting there!
We had a crazy amount of rain last Friday in a very short amount of time that ended up flooding several rows, but the vast majority of it drained off by the next day. It was pretty muddy for a couple days though!
Just so you believe me about the Ugly Turnips- they really are fine on the inside! I cut open several just to make sure. I suppose you could even call them "Misfit Turnips!"
One last thing- just a reminder about invoices: I still have a couple invoices outstanding, so if you haven't paid them yet, please be sure to do so this week. If you'd rather not pay through the website, you can absolutely pay in person. (I believe there is an option to select that on the invoice.)
That's all, folks! Weekly reminder to wash your produce! Have a great week!!
