So help me God, we will eat these vegetables!

I want to document this week's CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) delivery for posterity.

Keep in mind that this is a HALF share of a CSA!

One green pepper
Two onions
One large bunch (probably 15 leaves) collard greens
Four carrots
Two random summer squash
One zucchini
One very large cucumber
One broccoli
One HUGE (it weighs like five pounds!) cabbage
A lot of green beans
Four turnips rutabaga
Bunch of dill
Bunch of mint

I REALLY want to eat all of the vegetables before they go bad. We get a new delivery tomorrow!! I prepped a stew with some Glanzer beef, the broccoli, the carrots, about half of the collard greens, the summer squash, and one of the onions. I'm going to mash the rutabaga up with potatoes (from last week's CSA) for some carb action there. Put curry-style spice in it, hope it turns out tasty-like.

The other onion and the green pepper will go towards a fajita dinner sometime this week.

The dill will go with a lovely piece of salmon I bought last week.

The green beans and the rest of the collard greens will have to go in a stir fry some time soon.

The zucchini will go in zucchini bread (which, with other fruits/veggies, whole wheat flour, and a handful of chocolate chips, baked in a Bundt pan, is an AWESOME breakfast cake. So healthy and yummy. Just replace most of the oil in whatever recipe you use for applesauce and you're golden.)

Now. What on earth will I do with all that cabbage?
