(*NOTE: the main post for today is just below….Taking Pen to Paper….)

Ok. My nine green friends are still sitting in a bowl on my counter. Part of me is intimidated by them, part of me just likes the way they look in the wooden salad bowl. A culinary quandary.

Made a quick saute with the zucchini and summer squash on Friday. Olive oil, garlic (from the farm) and lots of fresh mint. A surprisingly delightful combo…zucchini and mint.

A friend emailed me a bread recipe last night, which I will be trying in the next day or so. Zucchini fritters are also on tap this week. Didn’t get to the cupcakes. My bunch of bananas was turning brown quicker, so they got top priority, resulting in two lovely loaves of banana-chocolate chip bread!

I better get crackin’, though, as CSA delivery #5 comes this afternoon….
