Some Ups and Downs

Thumbs Up: Farmer's Market Salad. We substituted gouda for the goat cheese. It would've been better with goat cheese, but gouda's still good. We didn't have any sesame seeds either, but we did add green peppers. The basil was a really nice "baby green." Honestly, this is a good "kitchen-sink" recipe. Once you've thrown green beans, potatoes, and cheese into a salad, it seems anything goes.

Also delicious: Squash Basil soup. We had a recipe via Epicurious.com for Zucchini Basil Soup (zucchini, squash, same diff) and though it wasn't very creamy, it was a nice light soup for the summer. We'll cook anything to go through all this squash; well, anything but make the obvious like zucchini bread or vegetable lasagna.

Thumbs Down: The kohlrabi and carrots was not something we'd eat again. The cooked kohlrabi was awfully fibrous. The brown sugar and raisins were good though. Because we used up both kohlrabi "bulbs" for this recipe, we won't be having the kohlrabi saute on Thursday. I guess we'll just have to starve.
