The weekly share

We are now entering into the hot, dead part of summer. Did I mention hot?

In this week’s share:
- field peas
- green beans
- squash
- cucumbers
- garlic
- collards
- tomatoes
- basil
- green onions
- edamame

The bonus item: Cut flowers. I chose 6 sunflowers to brighten our home.

I’m thinking a nice cucumber, tomato, basil, onion salad with a light champagne vinnaigrette.

What to do with collards? I’m getting tired of the tough leaf and bitterness.

I’d never heard of field peas until last year, when I bought some and promptly over cooked them. Maybe this time I’ll actually get to try them.
