I managed to give away the large eggplant that was delivered last week. This is especially good since we picked several of the orange, Turkish eggplants from the garden on Sunday. Last week I made a Japanese style stew which used a lot of the ingredients we had on hand. On Saturday I made minestrone soup which is a great way to use up a lot of fresh veggies. I’m craving a big stir-fry of green beans and cabbage. I also have yet to answer my desire for raw zucchini pasta & marinara. I’m hoping this weekend I might be up to making applesauce, I’ll probably throw in whatever overripe fruit is in the house as well.
