This week The Box arrived with a wide variety of familiar goodies and a couple of strange ones. Nothing exactly made me want to jump up and down and cook like a mad woman, but for the most part the ingredients were useful. Here's what I got:
- Sorrel
- Orange Sun Gold Cherry Tomatoes
- Texas Onions
- Elephant Garlic Rounds (basically one big clove of garlic)
- Cucumbers
- Mammoth Basil (Looks like Basil, Smells like Basil, is 2X the size of Basil, I called it Mega Basil)
- Italian Sweet Basil
- Elephant Garlic Flowers (big fluffy purple flower thing)
- Something that looked like a Zucchini and a Eggplant mated
- And Purslane (because MIL thought it would be funny.....THANKS)
Again, we had some odd ducks, like the Purslane, which is essentially a weed, and sorrel, which is poisonous in large quantities. But nothing screamed "COOK ME" so I was looking forward to what was in the big brown basket sitting on the counter. It could have been anything. And I was hoping to get a nice fat, blood pressure rising challenge. So when I opened it up and looked at the ingredients I was perplexed.
