Butter beans. That was my mystery vegetable. Ugh. M made me feel a little better about it because as she was helping me unload the veggies into the fridge her response was "Yay! Lima beans!" Curtis was also pleased to see them, so I guess I will just make the best of the butter beans and wait another week for some wonderful cool weather vegetable.
Also in our box were more of the summer veggies:
3 tomatoes (yay!)
4 cucumbers
3 light purple eggplant---they are beautiful!
1 white eggplant
1 Japanese eggplant
2 traditional/typical small eggplant
2 yellow squash
1 small acorn squash
the above bemoaned bag of butter beans
a bag of basil
one dozen eggs
many small bell peppers
I left the okra and the hot peppers in the trade box. I hope someone else can use them because at our house, they end up in the compost
My menu for the week stands. You may notice I very rarely talk about the cucumbers in my cooking. Other than a few cucumber salads and pickles, I don't use cucumbers in recipes. We (meaning Curtis and M) primarily eat them raw. M already picked out the smallest cucumber we got, put it in a bag, and said that was her cucumber for her airplane trip on Friday.
