Week 16 2012

Wow!!  Thank you for the much needed and greatly appreciated rain that fell over the area this weekend.  I know it was terrible for those that experienced the actual Hurricane, but for Southern Illinois Issac provided great relief to an awful drought.

We hope that everyone had a fantastic day and relaxing break from your labors.  We canned up several quarts of hot peppers. (recipe below- super easy!)


This week in your box:
Mustard
Kale
Garlic
Hot Pepper
Sweet Pepper
Basil
Snap Green Beans
Shelled Beans (Remove Beans from pod and cook- more information below)


Fresh shelling beans are one of the great treats of local eating. Shell them and cook them in soups or simply braised as a side dish—they have an extra creamy texture and wonderful clean but earthy flavor.  They cook in about 20-30 minutes so can be added to any dish.
