Week 10

Hi Friends,

Wanted to thank everyone for their recipes last week. They haven't shown up yet because we are trying to construct a separate recipe page on the site. It should be done soon.

Week 10 is here and you will find some new items in your crates this week, eggplants and a variety of peppers. One of the peppers you may find is a long, crinkled up red one that looks deadly, it is not, it's a Jimmy Nardello sweet pepper that is supposed to be one of the best frying peppers there is. The drought didn't do any favors to the tomatoes, you may find some with cracks in them, but they still taste real good! Speaking of tomatoes you will find a horribly ugly heirloom tomato that is green on top and reddish on the bottom. It won't look ripe but it is, it's a Paul Robeson tomato and we think you'll find it delicious. Paul Robeson was an African-American opera singer in the fifties that was a star in Russia. They loved him so much they named a variety of tomato after him and that's the one in your crate this week. We've been experimenting with some lettuce during this scorching summer and most has not been successful, but the arugula is tender and tasty. It has a few holes in it, which proves it hasn't been sprayed with something to kill everything. It's really got a nice spicy kick to it.

Hope all is well and we'll see you this week.
