An abundance of co-op share

This week's co-op consisted of a basic share, a hostess pack and I shared a case of strawberries with a friend and bought more bread.  I really need to do something about how much bread the kids are eating around here.

So I ended up with
6 clam shells of strawberries (4 from the shared case 2 from the hostess pack)
7 russet potatoes
8 apples
7 bananas
1 onion
1 bag of red potatoes
2 bags of mandarin oranges
1 clam shell of grape tomatoes
2 lemons
3 avacados
1 pineapple
8 roma tomatoes
2 bags of raddishes
1 leafy green lettuce
1 bunch of asparagus
6 cucumbers
2 bunches of celery
dill
rosemary
3 loaves of 9 grain bread
1 baguette
1 hot cross bun bread (sweet bread with dried fruit)

Let over from before"
4 russet potatoes
1 sweet potato
1 onion
celery
2 heads of butter lettuce
beet
Several lemons
grapefruit
oranges
apples
key limes

I took the radishes and 3 of the cucumbers to our Sunday game night to share with some hummus as well as a package of field roast sausage. Yummy sausage.

My husband was sweet and made us a cake for Easter.  It was a basic yellow cake, but he made a glaze that used a lemon, a lime and half a clam shell of strawberries and lots of sugar.  It was very good.

The sweet bread once again made up a quick breakfast before church.  Lunch was eaten out because we had a lot to do for Easter Sunday since we wanted to go visit my grandfather for a bit.

  1. Actually it turns out it was 3 cucumbers and 3 zucchini. This is what happens when you let one of the kids take an inventory. I basically dropped the produce off and headed out the door to a face painting gig. I didn't discover the error, until I went to get the other 3 cucumber for a cucumber salad and discovered they were zucchini. Ooops. But only a minor hitch in my menu planning for the evening.
