Share Notes
- Escarole: A member of the chicory family, escarole is a broad-leaved endive with broad, pale green leaves that look similar to a leafy butter lettuce. The blanched inner leaves tend to have a more mild flavor are make a great salad green, while the more bitter green outer leaves are great lightly sauteed with a little fat or your choice, salt and pepper.
- Leeks: Take extra care in washing your leeks as their may be some soil still lingering between the layers near the tops.
- Potatoes: The tasty German Butterball potatoes in your share this week may show some surface damage from wire worm and other soil conditions, and is easily removed with peeling or cutting out as desired.
- Winter Squash, Pumpkin: The Baby Pam pumpkins in your share this week are best when eaten within a couple weeks, as pumpkins tend to be the least storage worthy of the winter squashes. While they will hold up just great on your porch or window sill through Halloween (not carved, and not exposed to any freezing), their naturally sweet, rich and smooth flesh is delicious roasted, in soups, curries, and particularly for making homemade pumpkin pie filling. You can plan to enjoy pumpkins again in the Thanksgiving Share.
