I think it is week 17 and 18 from my CSA bounty. But I have also been buying some seasonal Western produce: peaches and peppers from Washington State and hopefully soon, some blueberries from Oregon. Washington, Oregon and California are close enough that I am including their seasonal stuff that comes direct to Montana as local :)!<\/p>\n

Here we go!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

More cucumbers and I dressed them in a creamy dressing of a wee bit of homemade mayo, greek yogurt, buttermilk, dill, salt and a good dose of fresh ground pepper.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to a refreshing salad, the mix made a good topping for a spicy corn chowder. My CSA corn and green pepper went into the chowder.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I blitzed a bit of the cucumber salad to make a riff of tzatziki sauce which also went well with some chowder.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh…those little tomatoes!!! They are sweet like candy and I ate most of them just like candy – as a sweet snack!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Kale, sweet onion and green beans roasted in olive oil and basalmic vinegar…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

…. they went in another soup. <\/p>\n

As the calendar flipped to September, the weather flipped to Fall. Cool\/cold nights warming to Fallish afternoons. Soup sounded good and it was.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But…still time for some salad. This last week had beautiful lettuce mix. I added some ham, corn off the cob, pumpkin seeds and a ranchish dressing…along with some Washington State Elberta peaches.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Roast Chiles!! Anaheims, Red, Jalapeno – on the grill…for chile rellenos…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, yeah! And in addition to the above which were part of my CSA distribution, the local grocery had a chile weekend and I bought a number of the best Anaheim peppers I’ve seen in these parts. Those have been roasted and frozen for Winter enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Cooking and eating from the garden and local produce. It continues to be wonderful eating and preserving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
