A cross between Macoun and Honeygold (which itself is a cross between Golden Delicious and Haralson), the Honeycrisp is now my new favorite apple. How fortunate to stop at The Garden of Ideas yesterday for some staples (onions and garlic) and find them there. These beauties are grown by Red Jacket Orchards, the same people that bring you the amazing juices, which are available at the farm all the time. If you haven't yet tried this sweet and luscious variety, get yourself one (or a dozen, which is what you will grab after one bite).
Today is the first day of the Fall share. For the two week break, I was busy cooking up the bounty that remained in my fridge after three weekends away. The chili I made for the Apple Cider press turned out great! But then again, how bad can chili be when it contains cocoa and Guiness?
The celeriac and cauliflower soup I tried was also tasty, and I loved my new hand blender - so much easier than ladling mush into the blender - and neater too.
Like soup, the stir fry is an easy way to get your veggies in and with only a wok to clean - worth all the work of the chopping. Heat wok - throw in oil - throw in onion and garlic - throw in veggies, in order of hardness (i.e., carrots first, cabbage last) - stir - add some soy sauce, mirin, wine - easy peasy.
Now, off to the farm for this week's share!
