Dear John,
I’m going to get cooking rather than write a forward this week. We didn’t take a photo when the Community Produce box arrived on Tuesday. We have eaten cantaloupe, roasted seeds, stewed plums and put them on top of Dutch babies, made a cabbage curry, and I think eaten some other produce.

Meals to get us through the next few days
- Cook up the greens and mix up some rice and the last of the peas for crispy hoppin john. (Actually, going to go get rice cooking while I write this.)
- Buy some mozz, pull pesto from the freezer, and make the braised chickpeas and zucchini.
- Repeat some of the recent cabbage recipes? The romanesco sauce was delicious. As was the curry.
- I want to do the crispy potatoes but they really benefit from being eaten hot and I’m not sure when we cook them. So to consider. Honestly, also considering boiling up the summer stock bag, and make a corn and potato chowder. Potentially with buckeye beans mixed in? Think about it!
Love,
Sarah
