This week's Produce For Two and Mixed Meat contained:
- Spare ribs
- 2 pork chops
- Kale greens
- Cauliflower
- 2 turnips
- Buttercup squash
- Tatsoi
- 7 sweet potatoes
Wow, this is my kind of basket!
The spare ribs and pork chops will be part of "meat and 2-or-3" meals. Oven barbecue is a distinct possibility.
Kale greens will give me greens and cornbread! I'll dice the smaller of the two turnips to go into the mix. I suppose I'll have to spring for some grocery store pork since I've used up all the ham hocks in my freezer.
I'm thinking I'll use the squash in a casserole for Thanksgiving.
I'm not sure how to use the cauliflower. I might just steam it and serve it with a cheese sauce..
The tatsoi: it looks like it should go in a stir fry, but I'm not sure I can fit that in between today and Thanksgiving. This will be tough.
Sweet potatoes. Seven sweet potatoes!!?? I still have 2 left over from my last pickup. They are great as oven fries, but I don't think I'm going to be eating any burgers in the next couple of weeks. If I had a sweet tooth, I'd make sweet potato pie. I might go ahead and do that, sweet tooth or no. I've never made a sweet potato pie, and it would certainly be appropriate for Thanksgiving.
And, hello, I've still got a huge Tupperware bin of chili to consume. I need to clone myself so I can eat twice as much.
