fruit: bananas, oranges, kiwi, Bonne Helene pears, apples
veg: onions, courgettes, mushrooms, beetroot, spinach, stir fry pack, carrots, potatoes

Another week, another load of fresh local produce.  No ideas what kind of apples or potatoes, I’m afraid, as it’s not on the label.  I’ve got some lovely things planned for this box.  I’ve made some Gnudi this evening (balls of ricotta, parmesan and nutmeg rolled in polenta) and will have them with a spinach, garlic and mushroom sauce with plenty of parmesan.  The stir fry pack will go into another noodle stir fry and this time I’m doing peanut butter noodles.

We’ve got lots of lovely chicken stock, so that’ll go into yet another Borscht, and if I can get hold of some peppers, I plan to make a mediteranean salad with courgettes, mushrooms, peppers, onions and a special soy and tomato puree sauce.  Sounds weird, but it is oh so good.  Perfect to master it ahead of the upcoming picnic and barbeque season.  The recipe comes from one of the excellent Australian Women’s weekly cookbooks and I will hopefully get round to posting it this week.
