Greetings HeartEye Village CSA members!  Ahh….the beauty of early-mid-season harvest.   How about those Turnips, huh? Have you tried them raw yet, just like candy I say!  Well, I hope you kept your Squash Blossom recipes from last week because boy do we have blossoms for you now.  You can turn your kitchen into a gourmet restaurant with the presence of these blossoms.  I’ve added another recipe below but I think they’d be great toasted and then put in an omelet or a frittata.  If you did not keep your recipes from last week let me know and I’ll e-mail them to you.  So, we have an abundance of blossoms but the squashes themselves are playing hard to get…  So we have “Hint of Summer Squash” this week as they work themselves up to full production mode.   Also, just to let you all know sometimes we have to divide things up over time between half and full shares.  For example, much earlier this season the full shareholders got Rhubarb and this week the ½ shares are getting Rhubarb.  If you aren’t getting something in your box this time around be assured that we will have some for you later in the season.  We also have a few tart cherries for you.  I actually like these just raw, but they are a bit tart for most people.  So, being as there aren’t really enough to make a whole pie, we recommend you make a sauce that could be used for ice cream, angle food cake or just by the spoonful.   Half share holders (or full shareholders if they still have their Rhubarb from several weeks ago) could possibly make a cherry rhubarb pie.  That sound good to me!

Enjoy!
