Tonight, to use up some of the last veggies from my CSA box, the one from two weeks ago, plus the one I got for the class last Thursday – before I get my new one tomorrow – I made Romano beans braised with tomato, and Szechwan green beans – that really messed up the stove, splattering oil. We ate them with rice leftover from Monday, microwaved with a lump of the cilantro-lime butter stirred in. There’s still enough rice for a rice pudding at some point, even though it’s long grain – not really the best for pud. But cooked in milk and cream with cinnamon & sugar – it’ll be good. And leftover beans for lunch.
And I finally made the veggie broth – the bunch of parsley I bought for the class, that inexplicably wilted even in a glass of water in the fridge, half a tomato, most of a giant onion, a little fresh dill, purple carrots, and the last two salad turnips that came, with a number of their brothers and sisters, in one of my very first CSA boxes back in May – their sibs got eaten, but these two got left behind to go into the broth.
And I had to throw out the last of the peach crisp – it had mold spots – but I made crumb cakes with jam, ‘cuz Rach had a craving.
I couldn’t decide if I like the pictures with the beans blurry or the rice blurry the best – so here’s all three.
