Fair Shares: Week Three

week 3 stash

We're still enjoying our membership to Fair Shares and we are always eager to find out what we get each week!  Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, we had a Tuesday pick-up.  There was a special surprise this week--a Kakao Marshmallow Pie.  Jason and I split this with my parents yesterday and it was really yummy!  The Hummus is delicious too!  Much to my surprise I like Japanese turnips RAW!  They are actually pretty tasty and make a good snack.  Jason used last week's turnips in the beef stew he cooked tonight and they were excellent, too.  And to think all of this time, I thought I hated turnips, who knew?

Japanese turnips--a little different than last week's version, but still pretty nonetheless.

Week 3:

• Herbs en Route--Thyme 
  
• Blue Heron Orchard Apple Mix (half gone)
  
• Japanese Turnips (half gone)
  
• Blue Heron Jalapenos 
  
• Local Harvest Hummus (half gone)
  
• Heartland Chevre (this is really soft goat cheese, not too sure about it)
  
• River Hills Poultry Alliance Eggs  
  
• Seven Thunder Bison-ground 
  
• Tessa's Peanut Butter (good and not as sweet as regular PB, definitely better than the natural stuff I bought at Costco, Amelia had PB&Honey sandwich today and didn't bat an eye)
  
• Lee Acorn Squash 
  
• Lee Farm Sweet Potatoes 
  
• Companion Potato Thyme Bread (interesting bread with chunks of potatoes cooked in, half gone, good with hummus)
  
• Esther's Honey 
  
• Kakao Marshmallow Pies (GONE!)
  

Here are the items from the last two weeks we still need to use:

• Chervil (still waiting, patiently)
  
• Ground Beef (frozen, so I am not too worried about this)
  
• Pie Pumpkin (turning into a pumpkin pie this weekend!)
  
• Sweet potatoes (one from last week and those from this week are going to be for our Thanksgiving dinner with my family on Sunday).
  
• Mushrooms (I need to figure something out soon, I found a risotto recipe that looks good)
  
• Mangia Tomato Vermicelli (good until 12/15--should make for an easy dinner one night)
  
• Potatoes (used 1/2 this week, will probably use the rest for mashed potatoes on Sunday)
