I don't actually want to talk about the CSA bag because most of it has ended up snacking food, like cherry tomatoes and cukes.  Basil went into everything I could put basil in; same with the sweet peppers and garlic.  We also got slicing tomatoes with which we made:

    This was a collaboration between me and Rob who has recently started exploring baking.  He's never been much a tomato person, but I think this recipe may have converted him to a tomato lover.

    We also got from the farmers' market Japanese eggplant which we charred on the grill and ate with a little soy sauce, as instructed by the slim Japanese man I often run into at the market but whose name I've never caught.  We ate corn on the cob (with our favorite chile lime butter), in corn and crab (from the Shrimp Connection who sells across the street from the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market) pasta and pureed corn in the crust of the above tart.

All in all, it was a week of feasting on local foods - and to top it all off, I lost another half pound this week.  Not bad for eating like a queen!
