- Head of green lettuce
- more broccoli
- A bunch of lovely carrots, 3 colors
- parsnips (yes!)
- turnips
- a yellow onion
- 2 bulbs of garlic
- gorgeous red potatoes
- 3 red apples
- 3 green apples
- 2 green pears
- 1 red pear
- 2 oranges
- 2 persimmons (I WILL figure out what to do with those this week)
From last week the fridge still contains:
- yams
- potatoes
- some red cabbage
- some shallot
- 2 heads of garlic
- a leek

- 1 red pear
- 2 oranges
- 3 tangerines

- Those green onions
This week will see some simple roasted veggies (yams, parsnips & potatoes) with adzuki beans and I will be remaking the “Tres Hermanas” casserole which features winter squash, pinto beans simmered in adobo & tomatoes, and topped with garlic & cumin polenta. I have been asked to put together the recipe for that dish as well as the Italian version with white beans & fresh basil. I’m also considering a pear/apple cake from a recipe I was sent a few weeks ago. Christie is talking using the gorgeous red potatoes for a dish of mashed up ones (she came up with this cashew creme to add for Thanksgiving – pretty glorious). I’ve also been hankering for scalloped potatoes soon (maybe next week).
