too much fruit!

[pantryslut]

In the box this week:

Apricots
Peaches
Cherries
Strawberries
and a Chicago (14") softball-sized watermelon -- so cute!

What the heck am I going to do with all of this? Whatever it is, I think I am going to die happy.

(It's really the apricots that feel overwhelming. So many! Maybe I will make jam again this year.)

also:

Corn
Zucchini
Green beans
Carrots
Garlic

I need to find someone to donate carrots to. I have too many. Potatoes also, but less so.

I miss peas already. I want to make a salad with peas and stuff.

Also I am craving bologna, which is just weird.

Apricots! Mmm, lamb with apricots...

Do you engage in pastrymaking? Somewhere I have a beautiful recipe for an apricot galette. Pate choux, frangipane, stewed halved apricots, slivered blanched almonds, very simple really.

Also apricots whizzed in blender with creme fraiche and however much Sauternes tases right to you is a very decadent lovely summer dessert soup. (works beautifully also with berries, and most firm-fleshed melons, but no with watermelon, which is too liquid) Make croutons of shortbread.

Do you have Lebanon bologna there? So garlicky and good.

I will have to look for Lebanon bologna. Sounds delightful.

I make a free-form apricot galette (stone fruit galette, really) with just apricots and sometimes almonds and a simple pastry crust. And it may be that time...

"Also I am craving bologna, which is just weird."

Too easy.

File this in the same category as my comment about the International Date Line, then. No way around it, must suffer the obvious.

P.S. :)

I know you've solved your current carrot problem, but for future, have you thought of getting a juicer?
