That wind storm we had on Sunday was so destructive, it whipped the poor garden to death! This is also the last week for tomatillos (because of the wind.)
We have some fun new stuff for you to try this week. Like the Seeded grapes. You can eat them as is, juice them, or jelly them. The almonds were supposed to be in your basket last week but my brain was missing and I forgot to put them in so this week you get them. The collard greens you can steam them, cook them in bacon. or juice them. Everything else you have had before but it is always fun to expand your cooking experience and try a new recipe!

CRAZY WEATHER! HOLY COW! Between the pouring rain, blinding lightning, and sky shattering thunder, (oh and the marble sized hail we just got!) it’s is shaping up to be a very interesting storm.
We hope no one is in the path of any flooding or lightning that may come from this rain.

Recipe
We barely pulled it off this week with Shares. With the fluctuations in the weather, the garden was severely lacking in produce. We were still able to pull together a nice looking basket for you and we hope you are happy with all the goods that are in there.
On a happier note this is the first week of winter squash, and there will be more to come!

I forgot to put the sage on the print out, but slice the sage into ribbons or mince it and sprinkle on the dish when it’s finished.
