CSA Box #5

~1.5# fingerling potato medley, Clarion River Organics, OG
~ Cherry Belle radish bunch, Nu Way Farm, CF
~ 1/4# arugula, Nu Way Farm, CF
~ 1# mixed hot peppers, Matthew’s Farm
~ 3# D’Anjou pears, Dawson’s Orchards
~ 1# tomatillos, Becarri’s Farm
~ 1.5# red onions, Hostetler’s Farm, CF
~ 1/2# sweet, red Carmen peppers, Weeping Willow Farm, CF

Made the best salad tonight, with the greens, pepper, radish and pear.  It doesn't get any better than this.  I don't think we've had radishes since we grew them in our back yard in Florida several years ago.  I'm going to try adding some radish greens to the salad.
Not sure what to do with the tomatillos (pronounced toe-MAH-tee-yos).  They're not real tomatoes, but a member of the Nightshade family - something of Mexican and ancient Aztec origin, dating back to 800 BC.  Seems that they're used in green salsas.  I found an interesting recipe for enchiladas on the Penn's Corner Farm Alliance site, which I might try.
