CSA & Columbus Farm Market Report for July 28th

Yet another lovely day, if slightly humid.  I'm sure the humidity will grow throughout the day until I have full on halo head (a condition which should be perfectly understood by those with naturally curly hair) and a nice shiny face to greet all of my guests.  I can hardly wait.  At least it's martini day (Saturday, the worst day of the week - and the last one where work is involved - is the day which ends with a dirty Bombay Sapphire martini.  The life of a waitress.  Oh well, if I had become a lawyer, Tuesday would be martini day.

So far (knock on wood), no rain on a market day.  This week, I started off at the Worthington Market, where I kept things very, very light (not very much cooking this week).  Some purple potatoes and kale at Garden Patch produce, some sweet onions from Cottage Gardens, my first little box of mixed cherry tomatoes (above) and a huge bag of basil from Mead Acres, that last of the short ribs from Up the Lane Cattle (I'm sorry if you missed it, but there's always next year), and a few peaches:

and garlic from Gillogly Orchards:

I headed to Northridge Organics for some lamb chorizo and some cute Easter egg radishes (below) And that was about it. 

I headed over to the North Market, just to sneak in and pick up my CSA box, which, this week, included salad greens, wild greens (dandelion, purslane, lamb's quarters), a zucchini, a cucumber, some shallots, a green bell pepper, and some green beans, in addition to the usual 1/2 dozen eggs.  I completely forgot that last week, we got horseradish!  Fresh horseradish!  More on that later.

And then, I came home and made this ravioli out of Trader Joe's dried cheese raviolis (a sin, according to Marcella, by the way) with garlic confit, purslane, fresh tomatoes and basil, because I was too tired (lazy?) to make anything which actually required work.  I do, afterall, have to actually work tonight.
