Bountiful Baskets: September 7

Today was a pretty amazing basket.

What I got in my one basket:

• Romaine Lettuce
• a whole lot of broccoli (a lot more than it looks like in the photo)
• four cucumbers
• three yellow squash
• six roma tomatoes
• one honeydew melon (that is much bigger than it looks in the picture)
• one mango
• nine bananas
• seven plums
• a 3-pound bag of pears, plus two more

What will we do with this?

• The pears, plums, bananas, melon, tomatoes and lettuce will just be eaten.  No planning needed.
• I'll be roasting broccoli to go with dinner
• I'm making pickles with these, plus some other cukes
• The mango will probably go into a smoothie
• The yellow squash will be a side dish or two at some point this week

I also got a huge box of bicolor corn, from Olathe, CO.  Most of that is going to be frozen, but we will undoubtedly be eating corn on the cob a time or two or three this week too.
