Week 19

This week at City Commons we have a great and delicious share for you. Last night we had the season's first frost and tonight is going to be even colder. I don't know about you but I love this season. When it gets chilly, somehow I feel even warmer. I light fires, make soups and enjoy the company of my family and friends. This week's box includes exciting items such as winter squash and heritage corn. This corn is a small variety but it packs a big punch! Try cutting it off the cob and caramelizing over high heat with butter. Sprinkle this on top of pureed winter squash soup, sprinkle scallions. Yummy!In the share this week:Green tomatoes from Food Field and Iroquois Avenue FarmScallions from Iroquois Ave FarmWinter squash from Fields of Plenty and Iroquois Avenue FarmCarrots from Fields of PlentyBeets from Fisheye FarmsGarlic from Food FieldPotatoes from Fields of PlentyCorn from Occupy YourselfTomatoes from Iroquois Avenue Farm and Food FieldDill from Iroquois Avenue FarmNote: Choice of carrots or beets, choice of Potatoes or corn or tomatoesIf you get beets, try borsht.
