Cilantro. Love. Hate.

I found this article Cilantro enlightening and true. Of my 16 folks that show up weekly for their CSA share, there is never a " hmm, I kinda like Cilantro". Its either love or hate. I figure to each there own. But me? I love the stuff. I am thankful it is growing next to my beans, so that while I am endlessly picking purple and green beans, I am accompanied by the lovely aroma of soon to be salsa, enchiladas, my favorite stir fry concoction or the newly discovered cilantro chutney.
How about you?

The Zucchini Trifecta

3 great recipes, 2 large raven zucchini, 1 yawning husband = exciting Sat night at the farm.

Zucchini bread courtesy of "my" great aunt Betty - a favorite with the kids!

Zucchini brownies - yum and moist, practically good for you!
Zucchini and garlic soup - success yet to be determined, recipe says its better the next day... but it smells fantastic!

Wait, I just blended the soup, added the ginger, ooh, its way yum. And freezer friendly since there is no dairy in it. Try them all, in your next free 3 or so hours, ahuh.....

ACK!
