Wk 5: Ready for the Fourth of July!

This week with Independence Day around the corner we will feature some picnic-friendly items.  For the newsletter, we'll have some great recipes for beets, all derived from the Beet Beet Revolution event we had at the Grovewood Tavern earlier in the month. 
This week's contents are:

Small CSA:
1 bunch beets with tops (Betsy)
1 bunch carrots with tops (Leland)
1 head cabbage
2 ct zucchini (split)
2 ct squash (split)
1-2 cucumbers depending on size (split?)
1 quart yogurt (split since I ordered an extra quart)
1 head bibb lettuce (Betsy)
Approx 1.5 lbs tomatoes (split)
Approx 2 lbs sweet black cherries (split)
1 lb grassfed ground beef

Large CSA:  the small package plus the items below
1 bunch kale (Betsy)
1 bunch spinach (Leland)
1 bunch swiss chard (Betsy)
1 rack pork spareribs (approx 2.5 lbs) (Leland)
1 lb Chorizo sausage links (Leland)

We ordered 2 6" Strawberry Rhubarb pies (split) this week and are still waiting on beef short ribs (Betsy), canadian bacon (Betsy) and whole wheat pizza dough (split).  The parenthesis indicate how I think we will split the bag this time.  There are a couple items (cabbage and ground beef) that we will have to decide later.  Although, looks like the makings of stuffed cabbage possibly?

But this looks like an exciting share.  I will have to come up with yet another new way to cook all that wonderful squash (I love summer squash!).  Pickup on Thursday!
