farm share

[rushthatspeaks]

Produce:

A bag of red and green basil
A small bundle of rosemary
Four yellow squash
Three zucchini (oh god I hope they get over this)
A bunch of onions with tops, some red and some white
A box of unidentifiable leafy greens: they look somewhat like young spinach, but the veins are less pronounced and the general shape of the leaf is a little pointier; also they taste quite bitter. Our best guess based on Internet research is very very young Swiss chard leaves.
A bag of unidentifiable leafy greens with stems. Both stem and leaf are green and the leaves branch off the stems in regular rosettes. The leaves are quite small (less than an inch in length), medium green, smooth, and rather pointy. There are five to seven leaves per rosette. They taste very sharp with an underhint of something rather like lemon, but do not look a thing like sorrel. Or lemon balm. We have rather less than no idea what they are. (It would be good to know whether the stems are edible or not...)

Groceries:

Loaf of bread with sesame seeds
Another honey bear, this time lavender-infused (!)

Annoying:

A catalog from something called Edible Boston


So! Guesses welcome! I have emailed the company to ask what the greens are, but in the event that they do not tell me, I will try to take some pictures and post them, and maybe someone will know. It is rather hard to cook things when you do not know what they are, as is demonstrated by the soup of various greens we made this evening, which was quite inoffensive and would have gone fairly well in front of a large dinner of something else. But we used up all last week's Chinese lettuce, go team us.
