Farm Share

I haven't posted as much about my farm share this year, partly because it's not shiny and new anymore, partly because I wasn't as buried in lettuce in the spring, and partly because I'm still using the same recipes I used last year.  Today I'm using two new recipes though, spurred on by the fact that my fridge is full of chenoameg's share in addition to mine.

(This week chenoameg  gets the kale.)

(I'm tired of avoiding recipes that need to start with good stock, and omg the celery.)

Edit:  a lot of the broth went into the squash soup, which I think is a win.  The squash soup is a little thin, but doesn't taste too much like celery.  The spinach cream is nice, but too thick to pour after I refrigerated it.  I'm going to try freezing the squash soup then adding a layer of spinach cream.

The blender is the wrong tool for pureeing spinach.  Also, don't stick your wooden spoon in the blender blades.
