Instead of staying home with our vegetables last night, we went to MoMA to catch the Matisse exhibit–which was gorgeous. One of his still-lives reminded me happily of our fruit share. Did you know (I just learned) that one can do a weekly fruit share even if they have an every-other-week veg and egg share? I’ve been delighted with the fruit this season, which we easily polish off in a few days. The eggs, which I find exceptionally flavorful–really more so than any egg I’ve ever had–do last two weeks, and we like to be in control of some of our vegetables so it makes sense for us to hit a farmer’s market every other week. But I’ll definitely consider every week fruit for next season if it’s still an option!

Our shares have been so beautiful and varied the past several weeks! I am particularly enjoying the tomatoes, especially after last year’s blight. I ended up going to the Sunset Park farmer’s market at 59th St. and 4th Ave. this morning to get onions and made some delicious salsa. Mimomex is at this farmer’s market every Saturday, but you can also meet the farmers on our CSA farm trip, which has been scheduled for October 24, 2010. More details will follow as arrangements are made.

We have fellow CSA-er Krista to thank for this delight: she posted a link to an epicurious recipe for Wilted Kale and Roasted Potatoes the other week. I didn’t check it out at the time since the idea of turning the oven on, well, I couldn’t. But the potatoes and kale keep coming and the heat has broken, for the time being, so I seized the moment.
It’s a wonderfully unusual, simple recipe: Read More »
I adore the restrained, fresh recipes from Alice Medrich’s book, Pure Dessert. If you’ve got an ice cream machine and a backlog of basil, consider this simple sherbet:

The book also contains some other mighty tempting frozen desserts, like Rose Water and Mint Ice Cream, plus a superb rustic plum tart. I highly recommend it!
