The Haul:
Watermelon, huge zucchini, cucumber, Italian basil, Thai basil, huge sweet potatoes, garlic and lettuce mixThe Plan:
Spicy Vegetable Red Sauce with Pasta: Basically, I'm just using of the squash and eggplant from last week that I shamefully didn't get around to using along with the mammoth zucchini from the week. Add in some garlic, onions, crushed red pepper and a can of tomatoes and it's good eatin'. For an army.
Ham Feast: Roasted sweet potatoes, ham and Southern-style greens spiked with cider vinegar.
Kra Pow with Bok Choy: To use the Thai basil. And hot peppers from the garden. This is the husband's lunch.
"Greek" Watermelon Salad: Maybe for this weekend's lunch? Sounds interesting.
Watermelon Rind Pickles: If I've got the time, maybe something else I'll give a whirl this weekend. I've never had them, but love all things pickled.

I made watermelon mimosas recently, and they were really good. I hightly reccomend them. The mimosas would have been even better with a little mint.
ReplyDeleteThe watermelon rind pickles seem like so much work to me - the Bitten Word made them once, and the project overtook their kitchen. But if you have the time, then why not?

Huh. We got pumpkins, no cucumber or watermelon (although I was a bit spacy yesterday, so I may have just missed them). I'm glad, however--that end of the curcurbit family causes me death from allergies!
ReplyDeleteI think I will make a pumpkin/sweet potato soup puree. Yummers!
