We are in the (long) process of letting them dry out right now. <BR/><BR/>The baby kale is wonderful - it is a little more tender, yes, and also sweeter and much less bitter.<BR/><BR/>Alice - :-( Tomatillos are beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Jessy - I know enough to do alright. I don't know individual stats or anything like that, but if a running back is the primary back and doesn't "share" the position with another back - that is a the back I would want for my fantasy team as he would get lots of carries - and thus I would get lots of points. :-) My team is 3-2 right now and leads our "division". Wahoo for Dan having a fantasy football team! YOU ARE A GIANTS FAN?! Wahoo! We are too! The Steelers are alright - I don't like or dislike them really - so we can still be friends. :-) We love watching football too! The odds panned out and my team won this week - wahoo for us!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I am a little sad about the CSA - but I will really look forward to it next year!<BR/><BR/>The long-ish gourd looks like some sort of maraca or something, we were thinking about drying it out and trying to make some sort of primitive instrument out of it. THe other one - I don't know...<BR/><BR/>The zephyr squash tastes and awful lot like a yellow summer squash. The skin is a little thinner and the fruit just a little sweeter and creamier and I like that.<BR/><BR/>We are happy too. And making homemade granola cures the "no granola blues". Wahoo for local peanut butter!<BR/><BR/>M - We are too - well, we are attempting to grow them inside right now, but it is more a novel experiment than anything. Hopefully we will both have luck in that department. Sigh, we can find tomatillos here most of the time - but they aren't the same as locally or homegrown ones. Here I am complaining when we can at least find FRESH ones. Sorry!<BR/><BR/>Erin - Winged gourd, eh? I don't think I would want to try to eat one of these gourds! We are letting them dry out right now.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-5621676281304904442008-10-20T11:48:00.000-05:002008-10-20T11:48:00.000-05:00I bought one of those weird gourds at the store la...I bought one of those weird gourds at the store last week, they called them "winged gourds".

I'm ordering seed ahead of time this year and starting some seedlings early. I'd hoped to be able to find seedlings this past spring, but to no avail and you just can't find tomatillos in the stores here anywhere (except for cans or jars of salsa verde).Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800153451645970774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-48884110403643137542008-10-19T19:56:00.000-05:002008-10-19T19:56:00.000-05:00i don't know enough about all the players yet to p...i don't know enough about all the players yet to participate in a fantasy football league (dan has a league though - he loves it), but i super love watching football! the giants and steelers are my favs! when i met dan i was stoked he was a giants fan, too! yay! but hooray for having good odds this week! <BR/><BR/>yay for some more booty from your container garden. that's sadface indeed on next week be'n the last of the CSA. :( those gourds look too cool! can't wait to see what you guys do with them! i've never had a zephyr summer squash - it looks too awesome! tomatillos = mmmmmm!<BR/><BR/>that's so awesome that the eat local challenge is going so well for you both! only missing the granola bar is just awesome, Jennifer! way to go! :D local peanut butter = wahoooooooo!jessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239751125232117374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-90097353337430458112008-10-19T07:20:00.000-05:002008-10-19T07:20:00.000-05:00So now, if I ever see a tomatillo, I will definite...So now, if I ever see a tomatillo, I will definitely know how it looks like :-).
