June 9 box

We have:
  • Yellow Peaches
  • Honeydew melon
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Red Plums
  • Baby Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Nantes Carrots
  • Gypsy Peppers
  • Romaine Hearts
  • Dandelion Greens
  • Jewel Sweet Potatoes
I will, I will, I will use those sweet potatoes. The carrots are way better than last time too.

Dandelion greens? Huh? I may have to resort to the recipes on the newsletter for those.

What got composted from the last box? Alas quite a lot, as we didn't cook at home for about three days after it came. Corn, chard, lettuce, all too far gone by the time i came to try and use them. The melon sat for a while until I finally got around to having some for breakfast but it was a bit rancid. And those apricots spoiled fast too. Must try harder.

Already used half the cauliflower, so that's a start ;)

Sounds like a delicious box! Hope I get dandelion greens in mine next week.

Last time I had dandelion greens I used them as the greens in this rice bowl: http://inmybox.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/a-bowl-of-gratitude/

And here is a link to my de.li.cio.us collection of dandelion green recipes. I haven't tried any of them yet but they all sound great.
