Vegi-thon

And no, I did not spend the weekend "vegging out" in front of a TV though that would have been AWESOME.
I had a vegetable cooking marathon instead. To keep up with my produce box we have to eat a lot of vegetables. So, among other things, I made a huge spring vegetable stir fry, featuring mushrooms, snap peas, squash, spinach and carrots. I made a sauce to go with it, but I ended up just eating it on its own because I wanted to enjoy the taste of vegetables.
Also, a big heatwave last weekend forced a lot of fruits into season on the farm, so we also had cherries, peaches, and strawberries in the box. It was bountiful.
I pleased to report that I have gotten through everything ... except a head of cabbage. Every time I open the produce door it gives me puppy dog eyes. I'm trying to pretend its not there. The guilt, the guilt!

Russians chop cabbage w/ tomato & cucumber and put oil/vinegar on it. It's not very good, but it'll get the job done!

Well, Oliver was really enthusiastic about the soup. Maybe he was feeling his Russian heritage.
