Hello from the farm Week 9! The theme of the week is Babaganoush! Full shares this week get our first ever certified organic sweet corn grown on plastic and it is absolutely yummy! We tried it at the market in Jamaica Plain at Community Servings and the people were enthralled. We passed some out as samples by peeling back the green husk and asking them to try it raw. They were so surprised and said it was the best corn ever and a new way to it. Much easier to digest raw as it is natural sugar until cooked, then it becomes a starch. Hope you all will enjoy! Our more than 7 varieties of eggplant are in full fruiting mode. Sarah has put a good simple recipe for Baba ganoush from the Food Network in the recipe section. Please try it! Go to our facebook page and communicate with one another so that you can trade recipes! We also have Callalooooooooooo! Callaloo, or calaloo, is the name for both a spicy Caribbean soup or stew and the edible leaves of several tropical plants that are used to make the stew. The plants used for callaloo are large leafy plants with starchy edible roots, called taro, dasheen, tannia, amaranth, or yautia. Where none of those vegetables are available, some cooks substitute spinach or collard greens. Callaloo recipes, and the use of different types of callaloo leaves, vary by region, but the stew always contains some kind of leafy vegetable. Stewed callaloo leaves are eaten as a side dish with many meals or used as a sauce. A Jamaican Spinach-like green that has been sung about by the likes of Jimmy Buffett and sworn by all of the Islanders who work here in Ma as being very healthy and harty. Chorus: Calaloo, Strange Calaloo Mysterious curious roux Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo Sooner or later we're all in the stew >From here in my kitchen I watch the whole seen Life on dis island 's A unique cuisine It simmers and bubbles And looks quite routine Till somebody spill all da beans Chorus: Calaloo, Strange Calaloo Mysterious curious roux Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo Sooner or later we're all in the stew Night after night On dat terrace out der Plays a melodrama Could equal Shakesphere Dey may tell theirself Dat somehow dey are not [ Jimmy Buffett Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] Best take it from me, We're all in the same pot. Chorus : Tomatoes have started to ripen. Hopefully you will all receive some this week. You will be telling us to stop sending them in a couple weeks but that is the nature of the season. J It just started to rain here at the farm and we are so grateful as it’s been bone dry. Hope you all get what you need! Blessings, Ashley & Ethel Reminder: Fall Shares start the 3^rd week of September! Form will be online by the end of this week.
