Door to door organics -- Box 2

Here comes Box 2, and it contains:

Watermelon. 1
Plums.4
White Nectarines.2
Blueberries.1
Yellow squash.4
broccoli.1
Green chard.1
lettuce.1
white corn.2

And recipe for veggies:

broccoli: There are four in a bunch. I used one with pasta. The other two for stir-fried, with yellow squash, carrot and shrimp (love the color of this dish!) I'm planning to use the long stems for some Chinese pickle dish as well!

Yellow squash: one in the pasta, one in the stir fried with broccoli so far!


Romaine lettuce: take almost half for stir-fry. Love stir-fried romaine!


Green chard: this is the first time I've ever cooked chard. I was searching for a good recipe online. In the end, I used over half of a bunch for stir-fried, with some red onion and garlic. I did add in about a table spoon of chicken stock to help took the leaves. It turns out pretty nice! I will buy it again in the future. BTW, I keep some and will try with pickling them!


white corn: the plan is to cook the corn with carrot and potato, in some short-pork ribs for a soup (My mom always cook this when I was at home in Taiwan. But we usually have this soup during the winter time...I remember!)


It looks like I cooked a lot of stir-fired dishes lately. And I'm waiting to "kill" the watermelon!! (You'll know what I mean if you're from Taiwan:))



LC Dairy -- Jun 09 II

最近好像沒啥好的ideas...

1. 紅酒燉雞腿
2. 莧菜小魚豆腐羹(用玉米粉勾欠,不夠濃 所以煮起來很不稠!)
3. 味增鮭魚湯(計畫中這不是要用LC鍋煮的。本來用小鍋煮,結果料太多,只好中途換成LC)
3. 普羅旺斯燉菜 (用了前一次做的 tomato sauce 可是這次有點小失敗的地方 是紅椒的皮沒有去乾淨,因為烤得不夠久!)

應該來找找 有什麼夏天的食譜!
