Bryan and I were at a fab wedding this weekend, so Bryce and Stephanie were kind enough to grab our share. Stephanie offered to swap, and I happily offloaded my eggplant. In return, I got 2 bell peppers, 4 plums, one tomato and two peaches. When Bryan heard, he said, “I thought you like Steph. Why are you taking advantage of her like that?” Though she had a good reason (travel), I did feel like I was making out like a bandit on that swap!
Gloria sent a sack of homegrown jalapeños today, so I didn’t have time to get too sad about this week’s substitution. The bell peppers are headed for roasting, though. Like Marisa, I’ve hit my limit on crunching through raw peppers for this summer. Meanwhile, Bryan’s in CSA hog heaven — dill pickles last share (which inspired me to make my own pickles from the carrots and zucchini), and fresh cucumbers this one! We may never kiss again.
